Two Texans, Northeastern Dreams Marveling and a View
Autumn is so beautiful here," Scarlett says, gazing at the trees with a wistful smile. "Look at all the colors—red, orange, yellow, all blending together like something out of a painting." She pauses, breathing in the crisp air, savoring the moment before continuing. "We really don't get this kind of scenery back in Texas. It's just not the same." A hint of longing creeps into her voice as she thinks of home. "There are a few maples scattered here and there, maybe around San Antonio, or out on the 16, near Lost Maples. That's usually where I go to get my fall foliage fix." She lets out a small, nostalgic laugh, her eyes still tracing the vibrant canopy above. "But it's nothing compared to this. Honestly, I could stand here all day just taking it in."Oliver pauses, thinking about it as if envisioning the areas Scarlett mentioned. His eyes drift toward the horizon, searching for some memory of those distant hillsides. "I am not sure if those maples really turn red or orange, since it's
Two Texans, Northeastern Dreams Coffee in Manhattan
It’s Thursday morning, the train chugs along as sceneries blur past the window. Scotty rests in his carrier, tucked beneath the blue and grey vinyl train seat, his small breaths steady with sleep. Scarlett shivers from the draft and wraps a pink, maroon, and crème plaid shawl around her shoulders. She pulls it tight against the chill that seems to seep through the old windowpane. She has always found train travel a little lonely, and today is no exception; the empty seat across from her seems to amplify the quiet hum of the tracks below. On the seat beside her, the train tickets, one for her and one for Scotty, offer something to review, to read and busy her restless mind with. She glances at them more than necessary, as if rereading the printed names might cure her boredom. Her eyes drift to the waterproof suitcases resting nearby, one medium-sized for her and one small, for Scotty. She has packed carefully for the weekend, folding in not just clothes but small comforts: Scotty’s favo
Two Texans, Northeastern Dreams It Begins
The rural Connecticut RV park sits about an hour by train from New York City, nestled among rolling mountains blanketed in a variety of tree species. Scarlett can only identify the maples and pines, but she doesn’t mind her limited knowledge—there’s something peaceful about simply admiring beauty without needing to name every part of it. The maples have begun their transformation, their leaves deepening into shades of reddish-orange that seem to glow from within. The early October air carries a cool, crisp freshness that fills her lungs and clears her mind. A warm amber light bathes Scarlett, tinting strands of her hair with gold and adding a subtle glimmer to her marbled blue-green eyes. She tilts her face toward the setting sun, which hovers just above the mountain ridge, and lets its fading warmth settle over her skin. The New England autumn breeze cools her cheeks. There’s a quiet contentment in this contrast, the push and pull of warmth and chill mirroring the changing season its

Scarlett is sitting in the driver’s seat of her blue super duty truck, on highway 1604, traffic is at a stand still as usual. She glances at the clock on her dash, five-twenty seven in the evening, still daylight out, no sun set in sight. It’s only the beginning of October. We’re supposed to meet at the park in a few minutes! Running errands throughout the day took longer than anticipated. Hmm. I wonder if he is already there. Traffic nudges forward, as Scarlett takes the exit toward Eisenhower park. A busy parking lot, reminds Scarlett she is not alone, simply to herself amongst strangers minding their own. Just as she likes. She guides her truck into a spot, the driver door swings open after a push, her pink and tan hiking boots stomp the pavement as she lifts off the step bar. Her hydration pack firmly drapes over her back and shoulders, a waterspout makes for easy thirst quenching. Glancing around, soaking in the nature, a dirt path lined by oak trees, catches her eyes. Scarlett
Two Texans, Northeastern Dreams Get in the spirit of Autumn
Tuesday morning arrives quietly, sunlight slipping through the RV windows and settling across Scarlett’s room in soft, golden patches. Late September carries a cool draft that curls around her, though her white shabby chic ruffled comforter holds its warmth beneath. She stretches, reluctant to abandon the cocoon of blankets just yet. The white shiplap vinyl wallpaper lends the space an airy, weightless feel, while a blue accent wall frames the king-size bed with its rustic white headboard, grounding the room in something sturdier, something like home. Scarlett lingers for a moment, savoring the quiet before the day demands anything of her. There’s a particular peace in these early minutes—no obligations, no noise, just the hush of morning and the faint scent of lavender. She closes her eyes again, memorizing the stillness, knowing it won’t last. She rises and places her bare feet on the light oak faux hardwood flooring, still cool from the night. Glancing down, she examines her toenai
Two Texans, Northeastern Dreams Home in Texas
Scarlett maneuvers through the busy airport, weaving in between people, and retrieves her suitcase. She holds rental car keys in her softened hand, and makes her way to another car, this time a Camaro. A smile forms on her pleased face; admiring the car like it’s an attractive man. A sigh escapes her lungs. Exiting the rental car parking lot with ease, she guides the dark blue Camaro down a busy road. Scarlett finds a spot to capture the city skyline and bridges. The blue lights remind her where she is. A place of seldom visits, a Texas city, nonetheless. One of the largest featuring McMansions, large buildings, and shopping centers galore. The first time Scarlett recalls ice skating, she remembers the pink sweatpants with white snowflakes, the elastic band wrapping around the sole of her foot to keep them tucked in to her ice skates. She mistakenly grazes her finger along the blade, not realizing how sharp it was. Blood drips out, like a paper cut. “Mom, I cut myself.” Scarlett tur
