They held each other’s gaze for a few seconds and to Noah it seemed like hours had to have
passed, the look was so intense and he could almost believe that she was
searching his heart and soul to make sure he was telling her the truth. He
had never felt so naked as he did in that second and yet his mind seemed to
think he should be frightened but his heart kept telling him there was
nothing to fear because he had spoken the truth. He stared back, letting her
see his own feelings, feelings that even he hadn’t quite yet focused on or
understood but somehow it was like she could read them, could understand
them. He waited, his heart pounding or so it seemed but the fear was held
back.
She patted his hand, feeling his nervousness and knowing inside that he was frightened of her
and of the conversation but she had to do it, she had to know just what kind
of boy her son had brought home. The whole day had been unreal to her not to
mention the conversation she had with this boy’s mother. How would he
react if he knew that his mother had come to her, had sought her out to find
out if her son was who she thought he was? Would he bolt or would he face
it? Looking into his eyes she knew that he might want to run, but that he
wasn’t a coward, that he had more courage inside than maybe he realized
but run he wouldn’t do. It gave her some hope too because she knew that
ever since Montana had passed away that Dakota had been slipping away, that
he had become withdrawn from them all and only this last week had he come
close to being the boy she had always thought of. Noah had done that, she
could see it now and she silently prayed that it would last, wondering what
it was that had made God test them so much?
Her heart was heavy as she thought back to the first news, to that first explosive
announcement that had so taken them aback and changed their lives forever.
Inside she felt the loss growing and yet as she sat there, as she heard
Dakota in the house, she knew that as much as she missed her eldest boy, she
would never be without him. He lived on in her other children, in
Arizona
and in Dakota, and maybe in some ways, all that she had gone through had a
purpose. What she wasn’t certain but after talking to Noah’s mother, she
knew that somehow there was a reason.
