lauren's throat was dry . hr voice craked as she said ." i didn't know i woukld see joost when i was there . it was a complete wee were in holand . he wasn't part of this , i didn't reach out ...to him . i hadn't =talked to him in ....forever ."
joost wasn't the issue for me . on the phone he hadn't sounded like a man who was in love with my life . he had sounded like a decent enough guy trapped smack in the middle of one of thge most complicated one nioght stands in dutch history . i thought hre had performed thew last act of his unsavory role with surprising dignity .
"i can't wait to hear about sofie ." i said , i meant it . i had a stepdaughter .that was a reverlatioon . my daughter . my daughter hasd a half sister . i thought that was wondewrful for her , grace had gained two new siblings in less than half a year ." i hope i can meet her someday ," i saidf , squeezing lauren's hand .
lauren finally got the message . she didn't reel joost back in that time ." sofie wants to come and visit ," lauren said ." maybe in a year or two , she thought . when she's a little older , she's great , alan, aterrific kid , she speaks four languages ."
"i'd love for her to visit ," i dsaid .
"she 's taller than me already . her hair is dark ," lauren said ." she has my eyes ."
my imagination sketched a picture of her while my eyes locked on the foothills paret park and ride through the back window .
lauren said ,"i don't want you to stay with me baccause i'm sick . i couldn't stand that .
"was the staying or the going up to me ? i didn't know . i did know that i was so far from approaching that partcular intersection that i woud have to go rent a car from hertz and power up the GPS so icould ask chloe for directtions on how to locate it .
i was inj njo hurry to get there . i turned toward lauren ."i'm n ot with you because you're sick today ," i said ." i said ." i won't be with you because you're sick tomkorrow . lets talk about it later . for now , justfocus on getting .
