Mae POV:
"Now that girl may have been something. She made my boy smile. After all those years, and now we're back where we were, if not, farther."
"You think she'll do it, go back to the spring?"
"Now Jesse."
"Come on Ma, you've seen Miles with her."
"Now I'm not saying I hope she does, but let's just say if she did I would be quite happy."
He laughed sitting back in his chair. I walked over to the window. I watched as Miles stood by the edge of the lake "My poor boy." I sighed shaking my head.

I rocked back and forth in the chair. I waited in the dark. "Ma?" Jesse said coming downstairs. "What're you doing up?"
"Miles hasn't come home."
He sat down across from me. "Ma he spends nights out all the time."
"Yeah but this time."
"He's fine."
I rested my head on the back of the chair.
"Night Ma." He said kissing my head. I gently closed my eyes thinking. The chair squeaked as I rocked.
