CHABLIS
Chablis put on a smile as Serena Tillman approached. “Good afternoon,”
she said. “How can I help you?”
“My son and I are here to see Dax Fabion. Do you know when he’s
coming?” She glanced at her watch. “According to your mom, he should be
here by now.” Serena’s husband used to play with Dax at Candlewood Falls
Prep School and they weren’t close. As a matter of fact, Toby barely
tolerated Dax off or on the ice.
Dax always tried to be kind and include Toby, but Toby made it
impossible.
And what made it worse was Toby’s father who was always yelling at
Toby in the stands or belittling him when he got off the ice. Toby’s dad
would either tell him he was the best one out there and he got robbed or that
he better step it up because he played like shit. It was so sad to watch.
Even sadder now that Serena, who wasn’t very likable in high school,
had married Toby and they’d produced a son, who now played hockey.
Chablis’ heart hit her stomach like a whale re-entering the ocean after a
magnificent breach. She knew she was going to have to deal with all of this
sooner or later. She was just hoping it would be later.
Some commotion at the front of the store caught her attention. “Looks
like he’s here now.”
Serena took her teenage son by the collar and dragged him toward the
door while Chablis turned on her heel and headed for a place where she
could take a breath.
She gripped the counter in the back room behind the gift shop where
they stored wines for tastings and breathed deeply. She thought she was
ready for this day, but she wasn’t. Far from it.
Seeing him again brought every emotion, both good and bad, she’d ever
had for Dax to the surface.
“Hey, are you okay?” Malbec asked.
She knew her brother meant well by following her, but she really didn’t
want to talk about it. “Yeah. I’m fine.”
“I call bullshit on that.” He squeezed her shoulder. “Between Eliza Jane
and Riesling being pregnant and Dax coming back to town, I’d say you’re
having a moment.”
“Then let me have it in peace.” She turned, knowing Malbec wasn’t
going anywhere. While she was close to all her siblings, she and Malbec
shared a bond that she didn’t have with anyone else, and that was only
because he’d kept her secret.
From everyone.
They were the only two people who knew what she’d done. She had no
regrets. She’d made the right decision. There was no way she could have
raised a child on her own. She wasn’t Riesling. She didn’t have the courage
or the tenacity that her sister had.
Besides, if she’d had the baby, Dax would have given up his career. She
knew that about him. He was an honorable man and he would have come
home to take care of her and his child and he would have resented both of
them for it.
“I knew I was going to end up seeing him today. I’ve practiced a million
different responses in my head. I don’t know why I’m stressing over this so
much.”
