Fifty one
“Well, Deanna, I mean that isn’t the rudest thing you have said when picking up the phone,” Indie said as Deanna could hear the self-righteous tone take over. It was the same one her mother had used throughout her life when Deanna had stood up for herself and wanted to go her own way instead of the one her mother had planned out for her. Now she knew it had to be to cover up how she really was, mentally disturbed and controlling. “I wanted to discuss Mother and Father’s services with you, and then we will have to talk about Justine’s at a later date.”
“Indie, you don’t have to discuss anything with me about the services I won’t be going to any one of them except Justine’s,” Deanna said, and it felt like a weight was lifted off her chest.

A few days later, they were in the basement office. Deanna looked across the desk to see Max, who was talking to Michelle in his arms as she held Henry on her lap. She had been thinking of the past few days and how she had the chance to grieve her sister’s loss and even the ones she had thought of as her parents only because of Max’s help. That Monday, she had been able to make it to the couch and not much further. Max had kept the children close so he could keep up with their demands as well as being there to dry her tears, make her laugh again, and, most importantly, be her rock in this sea that had become her life.The day they started to bring all the children’s stuff into the building, people did a double-take. She had hoped he wouldn’t make a big deal about everything, but he didn&rsqu

Max enjoyed the time they had when it was just the four of them doing the normal things a young family would do. When they got home every day it was a simple process for her to start dinner and then do some of the things around the house that needed to be done. She had a schedule for everything and she would start a load of laundry. Go into the bathrooms and spray them done for it to be rinsed off and wiped down at a later time. She kept the house looking pretty well despite the fact they had a toddler that liked to spread his toys nearly every where throughout the house.Max would get down on the floor and play with Henry or take the kids outside for some fresh air. After they ate dinner they would settle in for a show on the tv as he held one of the kids and she did the other. Then it was time for baths and bedti

“Why do I have to do this again?” Deanna asked again with a sigh. She was in the small office of advisor for the school. She had set up this meeting in hopes of finding out she was graduating at the end of the semester, and now she was left with more questions. The cramped walls with books and loose papers in folders were scattered everywhere so much was crammed in the office that she was starting to become slightly claustrophobic. It felt like the air was being sucked out of the room as she looked at the man in front of her.“Ms. Watson, I know this is not what you expected, but the requirements for your major have changed. You have to do this one more thing to be able to walk with your class. I am sure that I sent you an email about this months ago.” Mr. Richerson stated as he pushed his glasses up his nose. “I am sure that if you go back, you wi

As he told her what he wanted her to do, she went to work on the other side of his desk from where he was sitting. She was looking at the papers, and one by one, she was reading through them and then placed a post-it note on each with her notes, which, when she passed the papers over to him, he looked over and glanced at the documents and then graded each. As he entered the grades into the computer that was on his desk and waited for the next paper, she handed him he was finding that this system was better for him. They might finish the major stack of documents in a matter of hours instead of his three to four days.He was smiling to himself as they worked. He was watching everything Deanna did close to the clicking of her pencil to the thoughtful notes she was writing on the notes. He was thinking of class she was in and her as a student. She had changed. She had matured quite a bit in the past few years. Sh

Max walked out of the building and to the parking lot that was near the building. He was trying to clear his mind from the day and what he had done to himself with the idea that he could have the tiny woman work for him. He should have just signed the papers for her and never thought twice about her again, but the look in her eyes as she stood there in the doorway. It had been part fear and part something else. It was the something else that had called out to him and made him forget everything else.The youngest detective on the force and then as case after case was solved by using some basic common sense and the ability to turn the interviews around, he was named one of the best in the state. Within a year after that, he had other states calling for help, as if he didn’t have enough to do in his own job. His ego, though, would not let him say no, and soon enough, he was one of the top in the country. O
