Summary
Chase had just wanted a vacation. A little holiday. A break from Deacon and Prunella and Grandpa and even Silver’s pitying stares.
It wasn’t “escapism”, as Deacon had accused, voice condescending yet still sympathetic in the way it often was. That was a stupid word that Chase hadn’t actually heard before and also did not apply to him in the slightest.
He wasn’t trying to escape his mother’s decline. He knew it would happen—was happening—and he knew that she wouldn’t be able to stay in Sugar Springs forever, no matter how many of Deacon’s parents were doctors (it was just one, unfortunately, but it wouldn’t have made a difference). So she was moved to a hospital. A hospital that was almost an hour away and Chase hated it.
But that didn’t mean he was escaping from it.
He just needed a break. Not for long, it would barely even be one night in the real world.
And if Buddy happened to show up because he thought Chase was doing a normal book then so be it. The last vacation they’d had together on the beach was… fun. Despite it all.
This one would be better.
Not that he was planning for Buddy to come.
