sputtered and gasped for air.
Lisa pushed as hard as she could with her feet against the far end of the tub. Her body slid up and her head shot out of the water. She gasped for breath, sputtering and coughing. At once she got out of the tub, her mood ruined. She got dressed and headed down to the first floor of the shop. There stood Ted talking to a customer about a dress she wanted made, and a table she wanted made as well. Lisa waited patiently until the woman left.
“Ted we need to get out of here,” she said.
“What do you mean?” he said.
“I'm leaving. You can come with me if you want to. Or not.” She turned to head back upstairs to pack her things.
“Wait, please,” Ted said grabbing her arm to keep her from moving. “I don't know what you want me to do.”
“Yes you do,” Lisa shook his hand off. “You know exactly what I want you to do.”
With that she turned and stormed up to her room.
Chapter 7
The sun hung high over the west coast. Lisa and Ted were in California. Ted had sold the shops after all and chosen a life with Lisa over business. After she'd stormed upstairs on that fateful day he'd followed her and told her he loved her more than anything. Now Lisa was expecting a child. She worked the front counter at a thriving diner that Ted managed. Life was good.
There were times that Lisa thought about Frank and the homestead, thought about the Indian that could have killed her, thought about many things that could have been or that were. But her mind always came back to how lucky she was to have Ted. How lucky she was that, after all of what happened, he’d chosen her over business. Over everything.
Lisa smiled as she looked up at the sun, felt her baby kick, and turned to go back into the diner to finish the night out. She was a lucky woman. She was glad she didn't settle for anything but her dream.
