Decisions I made The Secret He Kept
The drive home from the lake was quieter than the drive there.Not uncomfortable.Just...different.Lela rested her elbow against the window, watching the late afternoon sun dance across the trees as they passed.She reached into the center console."Do you still keep gum in here?""I think so."She searched for a moment before smiling."No luck."She reached toward the glove compartment."What about—""Lela."Jack's voice stopped her before her fingers touched the latch.She turned toward him.His eyes never left the road."Please don't."She blinked."I was just looking for gum.""I know."His jaw tightened."I'm sorry.""It's just..."He forced a small smile that didn't quite reach his eyes."...I'd rather you didn't."She slowly lowered her hand."Okay."Neither of them spoke for several miles.Finally, Lela broke the silence."You've never cared if I looked in your glove compartment before.""I know."She studied his face."Is everything okay?""Yeah.""You sure?"He nodded."Eve
Decisions I made Again
Saturday morning was unusually quiet.Jack had actually kept his promise.For the first time in weeks, he hadn't shown up at eight o'clock sharp.Lela glanced at the clock.8:05.She smiled to herself."I bet he's pacing around his apartment."Belle lifted her head from the rug as if she agreed.Mrs. Moretti walked in carrying a tray with breakfast."You're smiling.""I was just thinking about Jack.""Oh?""I guarantee he's trying very hard not to come over."Her mother laughed."You're probably right."As if on cue, Lela's phone buzzed.Jack: I'm following orders.She smiled.Lela: Good.A few seconds later another message appeared.Jack: It's much harder than I expected.She laughed out loud.Mrs. Moretti looked over."That him?"She nodded."He says taking a day off is difficult."Her mother smiled knowingly."He'll learn."Jack had decided to spend the morning at a small state park about forty minutes away.He hadn't realized how much he needed the quiet.The trails were shaded be
Decisions I made Physical Therapy
Over the next two weeks, life settled into a routine that no one had expected to enjoy.Every morning at exactly eight o'clock, Jack arrived.Every morning at exactly seven fifty-eight, Belle sat by the front window waiting for his truck to pull into the driveway."She's got your schedule memorized," Lela teased one morning.Jack scratched Belle behind the ears as he walked in."I think she's just making sure I don't oversleep."Belle barked once in agreement."See?" Lela laughed. "She's on your side."Emily's physical therapy sessions gradually became more challenging."Ready?" Emily asked.Lela nodded."I think so.""Today we're working on balance."Lela eyed the exercise skeptically."That sounds suspicious.""It usually is."Jack sat quietly nearby, resisting every instinct to jump in and help.Emily had made one rule very clear."Only help if I ask."As difficult as it was, Jack followed it.Lela slowly shifted her weight, carefully keeping pressure off her injured leg while stre
Decisions I made Doctors Visit
The next few days settled into a rhythm.Every morning began the same way.Belle would wake before anyone else, trot into Lela's room, and gently rest her head on the mattress until Lela opened her eyes."You're worse than an alarm clock," Lela mumbled one morning.Belle's tail thumped happily against the floor."And somehow cuter."Downstairs, someone was always making breakfast.Her mother insisted on a proper meal before medication.Her father insisted on fresh coffee.Jack insisted on arriving with something unnecessary but thoughtful.On Tuesday, it was fresh blueberries from the farmers market.On Wednesday, it was a new mystery novel.Thursday brought a small tabletop easel and sketchbook."I don't paint," Lela said.Jack smiled."You don't have to.""I thought you might enjoy trying something new."She looked at the blank pages."When did you become so good at this?""At what?""Knowing what I need before I do."He shrugged."I'm still learning."By the end of the first week,
Decisions I made Next Morning
The next morning, Lela woke to the smell of bacon.Real bacon.Not the pale, rubbery strips the hospital had served.She smiled before she even opened her eyes.Someone was laughing downstairs.Pans clinked together.The coffee maker beeped.For the first time in nearly a week, she didn't wake to the sound of monitors.She woke to home.Belle, who had slept curled against the side of the hospital bed all night, lifted her head and wagged her tail."Good morning to you too."Belle rested her chin gently on the mattress.Lela scratched behind her ears."I think you're assigned to me now."Belle responded with a soft whine.There was a knock on the open doorway.Mrs. Moretti peeked inside."Good morning, sweetheart.""Morning.""How are you feeling?"Lela thought about it."Sore.""But..."She smiled."...happy."Her mother nodded."I was hoping you'd say that."She walked over and kissed Lela's forehead."Breakfast is almost ready.""I can smell it.""I figured you could."Mrs. Moretti
Decisions I made Finally Going Home
The drive home was much quieter than anyone expected.Lela sat comfortably in the back seat of her father's SUV, her leg carefully elevated on pillows exactly as the discharge nurse had instructed. Jack sat beside her, making sure every bump in the road didn't jostle her knee too much."You're watching every pothole," Lela said with a tired smile.Jack looked over."I am.""I noticed.""I've never been so invested in Cleveland road maintenance."She laughed."I don't think anyone has."Mr. Moretti glanced at them through the rearview mirror."If he keeps talking like that, he can drive next time."Jack grinned."I'd be happy to."Mrs. Moretti smiled from the passenger seat."I have a feeling you're going to be here quite a bit."Jack glanced toward Lela."If she'll have me."Lela reached over and took his hand."I don't think that's even a question anymore."As they pulled into the long driveway of the Moretti home, Lela noticed something different immediately.The front porch was dec
Decisions I made The message
We had barely made it twenty feet into the mall before Mom was already pulling dresses off racks."Mom.""What?""We've been here two minutes.""And?""You already have six dresses."She looked down at the armful of clothes she was carrying."I do.""That's a problem.""No, it's called being prepar
Decisions I made Questions
"Where is Jack taking you for dinner?" Mom asked as we walked toward the mall entrance.I smiled."Pier W."Mom stopped so fast I nearly walked right into her."What?"I laughed."Pier W."She just stood there staring at me."The Pier W?""Yes, Mom."For a moment she didn't say anything.Then she g
Decisions I made Shopping
Friday morning arrived much earlier than I would have liked.My alarm went off at six, and for a few seconds I just lay there staring at the ceiling.The events of the night before slowly came back to me.Dinner with Mom and Dad.The interrogation.The shopping trip I had somehow been volunteered f
Decisions I made Dinner with my parents
"Okay," Dad said as he leaned back in his chair. "Let's talk about this Jack guy."I groaned."Do we have to?""Absolutely."Mom laughed."We definitely have to."I shook my head."There's really not much to tell."Dad pointed at me."Start with what you know."I thought about it for a moment."Wel
