“Well, it is,” Mrs. Thompson said, and then sighed. “And I was hoping that Richard might be able to stay with you for a few weeks,” she finished, and took a deep breath from her seat on the couch.
Giselle was silent. She had a feeling all along that this might be asked of her. She knew that Richard had stayed with the wood-shop teacher a year earlier when his mother had been forced to take care of an ailing aunt in Georgia. She knew that Richard was the kind of kid who would be respectful of her space if he stayed with her. Yet it was still a tall order.
Giselle took a deep breath. “That would be fine, Mrs. Thompson. I think Richard would actually have fun staying here for a few weeks,” she added, hoping that it was true.
“Oh, Ms. Walker, I just had a feeling that you would understand. I know Richard is comfortable around you, and that you can be trusted, so that’s why you were the first person I wanted to ask,” she said.
“Thanks,” said Giselle. “So, could you tell me when I should expect to have him over?” Giselle asked.
“Yes. The fist week of June,” said Mrs. Thompson. Giselle’s heart sank. It was the same week that she was planning on going to Rocky Mountain National Park with Jasmine and Carla. She thought for a second about changing the date, but then remembered that Jasmine had already booked her flight. In addition, they had already reserved a camp-site for the week of June first. A light bulb went off in Giselle’s mind. She would just ask if Richard could come along.
“Hey, Mrs. Thompson. I wanted to run something by you,” said Giselle, hopeful that Mrs. Thompson would be in agreement with her suggestion. “I actually have a camping trip planned with my girlfriends that same week. Would you be opposed to Richard coming along with us?” asked Giselle.
The line went silent momentarily. “Well, Richard hasn’t done much camping, you know. But,” she paused and then finished. “I bet you he would like it. And it might be good for him,” she added. Giselle felt relieved.
“Then it’s a done deal,” said Giselle. “Just send him on over as soon as he’s packed and ready to stay,” she said and finished her drink. The café had gotten busier in the midst of their conversation, and Giselle realized she was getting hungry. She closed up her lap-top and then left for home, wondering what she had gotten herself into.
“Jasmine, you aren’t going to believe this,” Gisele was sitting on her couch looking at the mountain range from her apartment bedroom.
“I might. Try me,” said Jasmine.
“I’m bringing a student on our trip,” she said, hoping that Jasmine would understand.
“Wow. You’re kiddin’, right?’ Jasmine asked, laughing.
“No. I’m totally serious. It’s Richard,” she said. “He’s one of my students who just graduated. His mom asked if he could stay with me for two weeks,” she said. “I couldn’t tell her no. He’s got all kinds of crazy stuff going on with his family right now,” she added.
Jasmine was quiet for a moment. “Well, Giselle. I guess you’re just a good person,” she said. “Because I would have told that kid’s mom she was crazy,” she added, and the two laughed for a minute. “Hey, I guess we’ll still have fun,” she said.
“Jasmine,” said Giselle. “We always have fun.” They hung up after their conversation and Giselle ate a burrito for dinner. She decided that whatever happened, they would make the best of it and enjoy themselves. Before bed that night Giselle made a list of camping supplies that she wanted to pick up at the outdoor store in town.
When she dozed off around ten, she dreamed of swimming alone in a lake, surrounded by wolves. She woke with a start, and realized it was already morning. Then she made herself a coffee and headed into town. As she stood in front of the
