Stifling his laughter, he said, “I don’t think it’s possible to manufacture that shade of red, do you?”
“I guess not. She’s good-looking for a teacher.”
She’s good-looking, period, sport. Take it from a man who knows.
“But if she’s got a son with red hair, I feel sorry for him.”
“How come? You wouldn’t look half bad with that color,” Gideon teased.
“No, thanks!”
“So how did the homework go?”
“I finished it.”
“Good for you.” Gideon made a right turn and drove halfway down the street before he stopped in front of the house. “Here we are. Your mom’s left the porch light on for you.”
“I wish I could sleep over with you and Pokey.”
“So do I.” He leaned across the seat to give his boy a hug. “I’ll see you on Friday at six-thirty sharp.”
Kevin clung to him. “Love you, Dad.”
“I love you, too, son. Have a good day tomorrow.”
Saying good-night to his son was always wrenching. Gideon watched until Kevin was safely in the house, then headed for Daniel’s home in Del Mar Heights.
Twenty minutes later Ellen showed him into the house. He found Daniel lying on the couch in his study watching TV. To Gideon’s relief, the operation didn’t seem to have set his friend back much. He hoped the chemo wouldn’t be too hard on Daniel.
“Gideon! What took you so long?”
He smiled at Daniel as he sat down in the over-stuffed chair next to him. “I think you’re a fake. You don’t look or act like someone who just got out of the hospital.”
“I feel good.”
“He says that now that you’re here, Gideon. Can I bring you some iced tea or a cup of coffee?”
“Iced tea sounds wonderful. Thanks, Ellen.”
“What about you?” she asked her husband.
“Nothing for me, honey.” When she left, he said, “Tell me how the class is going.”
“I have to admit I’m enjoying it more than I would’ve imagined. They’re a smart group. So far, they’ve picked up on everything, and they do their homework with an enthusiasm you wouldn’t believe. I guess that’s what being a writer is all about.”
“Good!” Daniel sighed. “I knew it was asking a lot of you to take over for me. I have to tell you I’m delighted to hear you’re not ready to give up yet.”
“Far from it.” Heidi Ellis’s emotional rendering continued to bother him. He reached into his pocket for her synopsis and handed it to Daniel.
“A new woman joined the class on Friday night. She’s not really a writer, but she insisted on doing a synopsis, anyway. I want you to take a look at it.”
