"Mom, are you sure?" I asked feeling bad that she got the day off,
and I already have plans with Aunt Sofia and Wendy.
"Yeah Linds, go. You made these plans with your aunts a week ago. I'll
just clean up around the house," smiling as she spoke, but I could tell
she was still sad, so I decided to give a push since that was our endgame.
"Mom, call Sara. She has the day off too, see a show, or go for a ride on
her bike. You always say that you want to spend more time with her," none
of what I said was wrong. That is why I'm hanging out with my aunts. We're
trying to get these two together.
"How do you know Sara has the day off? And a bike?" Yep, Mom's
flustered speech screams interest, and luckily before I had to answer, the
doorbell rang.
I opened the door to find Sofia and Wendy smiling, "See you later, Mom,
and think about what I said," pushing past my aunts to close the door,
"Sorry about that, I threw a Sara grenade before you showed up. I didn't
feel like answering the questions she was likely to ask."
"No problem, Lindsay. We just left Sara's and threw a Catherine grenade as
we were leaving. We'll just enjoy the day and hope for the best,"
I waited until we were on the road before continuing, "I realize that you
both see Mom and Sara more than I do, but how can you be around them and not
want to grab and drag them into a room before letting them have it for being
the two blindest people in the world."
By the time we made it to the miniature golf course, I was feeling better, and
watching the banter between my aunts was entertaining. I would have never
guessed that
There was another couple waiting for us. They looked familiar, but I couldn't
place them. I watched the foursome make with their pleasantries before Aunt
Sofia turned around, "Lindsay, come here. We have a couple people for you
to meet," as I ran up and joined my aunts, "Lindsay Willows, this is
Calliegh Duchesne and Natalia Boa Vista. They are CSIs from
"So do either of you have any ideas?" I asked as we headed up to get
our putters and balls.
"What about setting them up on a blind date with each other,"
Calleigh mentioned as I looked to Sofia and Wendy to see what they thought. Mom
is wary of dating, but if the right person guaranteed that it was fine, she
might do it.
"I hadn't thought about that, but they are both jaded about dating, so
maybe as a last resort," Wendy countered as we headed for the first hole.
We played the first six holes while the four CSIs talked shop. I never get
tired of hearing about stupid criminals. There are enough forensics shows on TV
that would make you think before doing something illegal. I did notice our
scores, and I don't think my aunts have let their friends know my secret. I'm
sure someone is going to bring it up.
"Hey Linds, how comfortable are you with a trip to the hospital, and how
exactly are you beating us this bad? I'm a good miniature golfer," Natalia
mentioned after we had strolled up to the sixteenth tee.
"No hospitals, that would lead to me getting grounded, and I'm the captain
of my school's golf team. I'm usually here once a week working on my
putting," smiling before sinking my shot in one.
After smoking the competition, they treated me to lunch while we tried to come
up with other ways to hook up Mom and Sara. The only one that possibly could
work was that we send them to Wendy's family cabin at the same time. The more
we talked, the more I realized that they were going to have to find each other,
and I had faith that they could, but I'm kind of hoping they do it before I go off
to college.
On the way home, Aunt Sofia invited me over for dinner, but I declined because
I didn't want to leave Mom alone, and when we pulled into the driveway, Mom's
car was still in it, and there was no sign of Sara's bike. I let out a loud
sigh before leaning forward and giving them both a kiss, "See you guys
next week, and I'll call you later," giving them a wave as I pulled my
keys from my pocket.
I opened the door and found the living room and kitchen empty. Huh, Mom must be
taking a nap. I went and poured a glass of milk before stretching out on the
sofa and flipping through the channels. I found a classic Mythbusters, one that
would turn Sara's stomach. They were shooting chickens through airplane
windshields.
I must have ended up falling asleep because I woke up warm and smelling Sara's
cooking. I jack knifed off the couch and looked into the kitchen to see Mom
with her arms around Sara while Sara was making a salad, "Holy shit!"
and with that exclamation, I had four eyes on me as I noticed them both
smiling.
"So, what is the newest plan on getting us together?"
