“You ready?”
Ethan turned his head at his grandmother’s voice to see her primping
herself in the mirror. She adjusted her once-naturally blonde curls into just
the right position behind her ears before she pulled out a lipstick from her
purse and swiped it on. Then she closed the visor and met his eyes. Eyes he
had inherited from her – deep green and round. Her expectant expression
made his nerves jump about ten levels higher than they were before.
“I think so,” he told her, and cut his truck’s rumbling engine.

He looked back out the windshield at the dark parking garage that was a
perfect reflection of his mood. A family of four made their way slowly
across the traffic lane. The father had one daughter seated on top of the
rolling suitcase, with the other daughter strapped to his chest via a baby
bjorn. The mother was struggling to carry the remaining bags while
balancing an iced coffee and stuffing her cell phone into her coat pocket. He
might have laughed if his stomach wasn’t all in knots.
“You remember your mama’s funeral?” his grandmother asked, returning
his attention to her. Leave it to Betty to speak about her own daughter’s
death with the nonchalance most people used to discuss the weather.
“Yes, ma’am,” he said.
“Do you remember what I told you?” she pressed, but didn’t give him
time to answer before she continued. “I told you I’d hold your hand the
whole time. And I’ll do that now if it’ll make you feel better.”
True to her word, she offered her hand to him – cocktail rings, red nail
polish, and all. He hesitated to take it.
“It was a little more acceptable to hold your hand when I was ten,” he
reminded her. “I don’t reckon it’ll do now I’m a grown man.”
She wiggled her fingers and smirked. “I won’t ask again, Ethan.”
Smiling, he surrendered and placed his palm atop hers. She wrapped her
fingers around it, put her free hand on top, and gave it a maternal pat.
Suddenly, the walk through Charlotte-Douglas didn’t seem so daunting.
“How’d you know I’m scared?”
“Well, you were so quiet the whole way here,” she said. “When you’re
excited about something, it’s getting you to hush that’s the trouble.”
A fresh smile threatened the corners of his lips. “This’ll be the farthest
from…home I’ve ever been.”
He wanted to say the farthest from you, but held his tongue. To admit he
was nervous about leaving her behind would earn him a sharp reprimand
and a lecture about the state of her health. He knew Betty was strong – she’d
raised a daughter on her own, and then a grandson. And at the age of sixtyfour, she was still teaching aerobics classes three days a week. Heck, the
woman still went on dates more weekends than not, which was more than
Ethan could say for himself
