so much in pain that her own heart forgot its troubles and ached for him. She saw how he sat
and then how he looked, tossing his dark hair to one side as he turned to
head back to work. It wasn’t fair, she thought, as she ticked off the name
of one person and then saw that she had a new client at 4pm for a cut and
trim. Her mind couldn’t really focus as the name sounded familiar and yet
wasn’t but her eyes were drawn to the tall young boy outside, the way he
stood there, his body erect as he headed back to the grocery store. She knew
how much he wanted to be elsewhere, and yet too she was proud of him, of the
way he never complained about having to work, not showing a seconds
hesitation when he would sign over his paycheque to her and her husband, his
way he said of helping out, of doing what was right.
The pain in her heart was almost unbearable each time he would hand her the cheque, each time
he would look into her eyes or into Gary’s face, and she knew how her
husband would hate it, would barely manage to look back into his son’s
face, wishing he could simply push the hand back, push the money away but
they had no choices, they needed it and so their pride had to suffer. She
knew how much it was killing Gary, how much it ate at his very soul that he
needed the money from his wife and his young children to just survive.
Rosalie didn’t know how much longer they could go on this way, how much
longer any of them could continue to take the abuse and suffering of their
existence but maybe there was hope, at least a chance of hope?
Seeing Dakota heading back, the empty pop can in his hand
instead of already being tossed, she wondered if maybe their pride was
something too costly, something that they should have put aside a long time
ago or maybe it was all that was keeping them going now? She didn’t know
but as she followed Dakota back to the store with her eyes she felt his
pain, knowing that his heart ached and that something was up. He had been
more moody all week, and it wasn’t like him to have disappeared like he
had Monday evening, but he wouldn’t say much, except that he had made a
new friend. She had known by the way his eyes had looked that this was
something unlike the others, this was something she had rarely seen in his
face but one she recognized from
Montana
’s
face a few times. Her heart grew still as the fear was reaching for her, the
panic was within striking distance, as she knew they couldn’t afford
another battle like the one they had had with Montana.
