Sunshine Valley 

Choices

     Dillon lay in his bed listening to the fan run. Had he made the right choice? Givin’ Evie the letters? Suddenly he felt exposed. Worse than being naked at a wedding. Everyone in fine tailored suits while he was trying to hide behind a champagne flute. Would she hate him forever? Try as he might he still felt the same way. He still loved her. 

     She was amazing even back then. He knew Doug hadn’t taken it away from her. Would she be able to find it? Would she let him help her? 

     When Saturday rolled around, he knew in his heart that she was upset. She hadn’t talked to him in 4 days. Four agonizing days worrying if she was hurt, mad, sad, all the emotions. 

     

     He remembered she had said, ‘call me’. If he called, would she eat breakfast with him?  Would she cus him? Would she… He trailed off his thoughts when his phone vibrated in his pocket. It was a text from Evie. Tag line was Evie wishes to share. She was sharing with him her calendar. There was a app he could download, link his calendar to it if he wanted. Her calendar was filling up fast. From what he saw, appointments with her were typically an hour. A few of her clients had booked 2. Today, Saturday, she had one thing scheduled: Dillon.

     His heart jumped out of his chest and he called her immediately. 

     “I would like to fix you breakfast. So you don’t have to backtrack, may I cook at your house?”

     “You can do anything you want.” It flew out of his mouth before he’d even thought about a response. There it was. 

     “Be there in 15.”

     He was looking down at his phone, when he heard a door shut. Followed by another one. A look out the window showed him Simon was there to care for Teka. And he brought Rebecca. Had he always brought his wife and never told anyone? In that moment, Dillon didn’t like that. 

     He quickly shot Evie a text asking if she had enough for 4 people? She sent him a thumbs up. He would ask the Ledbetter’s to join them.

  1. You are a wonderful storyteller. I am really enjoying this read. Thanks for organizing them so conveniently. Just an fyi, if anyone asks, blogs read in reverse order, new readers have to start at the back of the category and work their way to the front.

      1. I’m noticing that you are reading a number of my posts. If you have any interest in checking out any longer pieces I have written, you may enjoy a story called Ginny Combs. There is a search bar at the end of the page that you can use to find it. (As well as a category which contains two further character studies) I just don’t have the attention span you do to stick with a particular storyline. I only mention it because you have been actively reading. No pressure.
