PEYTON
PEYTON ABERNATHY HEFTED her insulated bag of cold food items
onto her dad’s kitchen table. Her dad bent to grab the bag of pantry items,
but she slapped his hand away. “Daddy. Your heart attack was barely two
weeks ago. Obey your doctors.”
“So I can’t even lift a heavy bag for my little girl anymore?”
“Soon. Be patient.”
Peyton started unloading the ingredients in her bag onto the kitchen
counter, and her dad helped. He pulled out the two small spaghetti squashes
and a head of broccoli, and then peeked into the bag at the rest of the
produce. “Are you really going to make me eat this many vegetables?”
Peyton smiled. When she had come over a week ago, right after he’d
gotten out of the hospital, she made him heart-healthy meals and he’d
complained just as much. He never seemed to complain after eating them,
though. “You’ll like what I do to them. Are you doing your exercises?”
“Yes. My nurse makes sure of it.”
He heaved a sigh once the bags were unloaded and sat down at the
table. “I think my doctor is being overly cautious. It’s time to get back to
work. I’ve spent more time ‘taking it easy’ over the past two weeks than I
have in the past ten years.”
“Exactly,” she said as she started taking the items out of the bags.
“Which is why you had the heart attack in the first place.”
Her dad had always been a force. But since his heart attack, he had been
sitting less tall and hadn’t seemed larger than life quite as much.
“The firm needs me.”
“They are handling things just fine on their own.”
He let out a long, slow breath. She couldn’t see his legs under the table,
but she could feel the slight tremor in the hardwood floor to know that his
leg was bouncing. “I hate that people have to come to the house and help
me. Flora shouldn’t have to come. And I should be taking care of you, not
the other way around.”
She’d been as scared as jumping out of an airplane when he’d first gone
to the hospital and during those first few days after his surgery. She wasn’t
airplane-jumping scared now. More like bungee-jumping scared.
“Your nurse will only have to come for another week or so. And if it
helps, don’t think of it as me coming to take care of you, think of it as me
just coming over for a regular old daddy-daughter chat.”
He leaned back in his chair, his arms folded, a smile on his face. “Okay,
then, Sugar Bug. Let’s chat. How is work? Are you dating anyone new?”
She rolled her eyes as she got out the pans she would need. Her dad
took any opportunity he got to ask about her dating life. “Not dating
anyone, but I do have a story about work.”
