After Ava had made Dax shower and get dressed, he took his new truck out for a spin with Ray. Then the guys cleaned the den up for Ava while she enjoyed her gifts – especially her new jewelry. She even had time to call Redd and Mrs. Porter to wish them a Merry Christmas. Then Ava prepared an early lunch.

It was now twelve-thirty in the afternoon. Ray and Ava were curled up on the sofa watching The Santa Clause with Tom in the floor watching it, too, as he played around with his new cell phone. Jesse had left a few minutes ago to give his various girls their gift cards for Christmas.

Dax walked into the room wearing a pair of jeans, his new boots, and a navy blue sweater with a white dress shirt underneath. “Dad, can I go to Lana’s and give her a ride in my new truck?”

Ray raised one brow wondering if he should let him. “I don’t know, son. It is Christmas.”

Ava turned to her love. “Let him go,” she cooed.

Ray snorted with amus

    Three days later . . . Ava had said to hell with Ray two days ago. She had called him twice a day for three days. Now she was done. Unless the man was sick in bed, there was no excuse for him not picking up the phone or returning her messages. Now she knew she was in this alone. “You’re not alone, darling,” Catherine soothed. “I’ll help you as much as I can. And what about your family? My god you have more siblings than I do. I’m sure they’ll be supportive and understanding. And your parents –” Catherine’s face contorted. “Well, your siblings will be extremely helpful, I’m sure.” Ava snorted. “I think they will be but I have to tell my parents eventually. Unless I want my growing stomach to do so.” Ava and Catherine were leaving the New York Country Club. They had just had lunch. “Besides, I think my mother knows something is up. She couldn’t help but mention that it looked like I had gained a pound or two four da

    Three days later . . . “For the love of God, answer the damn phone!” Jesse demanded harshly. “No!” Ray yelled. “If it was important, she will leave a message.” Ray’s cell kept ringing with Ava’s name on the caller ID. Ava Bartholomew’s name on the caller ID. “Her last three messages said that she needed to tell you something that she couldn’t leave in a message. You know what? Fuck it,” Jesse hissed and reached for Ray’s phone. Ray collided into him, stopping him from answering it They wrestled for the cell phone in the stable’s office until it stopped ringing. “Shit, Ray!” Jesse spat out with disgust as he let go of him. “Call the girl back!” “No!” “Why?” “There’s nothing left to say. She’ll thank me for cutting her loose as time goes on.” “Time has gone on, Ray. Almost eight weeks. I can’t believe you’re going to keep hanging around here act

    The next day . . . Catherine had been a dear and spent the night at Ava’s last night. Ava couldn’t handle being alone last night because of the trepidation of her test results. And she didn’t want to take a cab to her father’s estate. She had preferred staying home. So, Catherine offered to spend the night. Ava had been grateful yet concerned about what Cameron would say. “As long as I’m happy he’s fine. And it would do him good to miss me for a while,” Catherine had said with a smile. “Besides, he won’t be lonely. Angela and Harold will be there.” So, Catherine had the maid at the Townsend townhouse pack her an overnight bag and the Townsend driver brought it over. During the pre-amnesia days, Ava had a cook who prepared meals for her in advance to last her a few days. Ava would just have to warm it in the microwave. Now, Ava knew how to cook for herself, so she didn’t need the chef anymore. She surprised Catheri

    Ava had taken two at home COVID tests and they had both been negative. She had no choice but to make a doctor’s appointment. The truth was she as sick of doctors. It seemed like she had seen more doctors during the past seven months than she has in her whole life. Bad enough Dr. Michaels had to prescribe her something to help her sleep, now she has some sort of bug where she can’t keep her food down. She vomited at least twice a day and she always felt hot and dizzy before it happened. There were times she felt dizzy and nauseas without vomiting following afterwards. It was so random and strange. Either what she was experiencing was a side effect from the sleeping pills or she was allergic to something. Oh, god. What if I have developed an allergy to chocolate. Life wouldn’t be worth living if it’s that. There was a knock on the door. Then someone opened it. It was her regular general physician, Dr. Dent. When Ava had started seeing him, Dr. Dent ha

    Five weeks later . . .Jesse walked into the coral. The ranch hands at the Cross Creek Ranch looked downtrodden, confused, a little pissed, and aggravated.“You boys look like someone chewed you out,” Jesse commented.“We were chewed out – over something we didn’t know that had to be done,” Shane said.Jesse exhaled. “Let me guess. Ray.”“Yes,” Gill hissed like a pissed off snake.“Damn I wish Miss Ava will come back. He’s been a bear ever since she left,” Lance commented.“I don’t care what’s going on at this point. He got about one more time to talk to me like I’m some idiot child,” Gill said angrily. “There are loads of people in the mid-west looking for an experienced hand like me.”“Cool down, buddy,” Jesse soothed. “I understand how you feel but don’t make a big decision like that while you’re mad. You’ve been with us for years.”“I know, Jesse, but damn it,” Gill stressed.“He’s not the only one that feels that way, Jess,” Jock said.“I see. Want to give me an estimate on how m

    Two days later . . . Dr. Michaels, Whitney’s former psychiatrist, and now Ava’s current one, sat in the den at the Bartholomew Estate. Lester and Whitney were discussing Ava with him before she came in for her appointment. “Somethings not right,” Lester said vehemently. “Ava isn’t . . . Ava. Usually, she’s more upbeat and sociable. Now she’s subdued, not as . . . chipper, and . . . she’s just acting strangely. I want you to fix it.” “Yes,” Whitney said with slight distress. “She’s changed. Will she ever again be the debutante I raised?” “I assure you, I’ll do what I can,” Dr. Michaels said. “But Ava, despite what she had been through, is getting older. Are you sure it isn’t a new found maturity that is coming out of her? During her sabbatical, you told me she had to take care of a household and two children. That alone can make a twenty-something grow up rather quickly.” Lester grunted. “Now that you mention it .
