THE CEMETERY SEEMED unusually quiet. Jack Durand paused on the narrow walkway to glance toward the Houston skyline. He never came to Houston without stopping by his motherâs grave. He liked to think of his mother here in this beautiful, peaceful place. And he always brought flowers. Today heâd brought her favorite, daisies.
He breathed in the sweet scent of freshly mown lawn as he moved through shafts of sunlight fingering their way down through the huge oak trees. Long shadows fell across the path, offering a breath of cooler air. Fortunately, the summer day wasnât hot and the walk felt good after the long drive in from the ranch.
The silent gravestones and statues gleamed in the sun. His favorites were the angels. He liked the idea of all the angels here watching over his mother, he thought, as he passed the small lake ringed with trees and followed the wide bend of Brays Bayou situated along one side of the property. A flock of ducks took flight, flapping wildly and sending water droplets into the air.
Heâd taken the long way because he needed to relax. He knew it was silly, but he didnât want to visit his mother upset. Heâd promised her on her deathbed that he would try harder to get along with his father.
Ahead, he saw movement near his motherâs grave and slowed. A man wearing a dark suit stood next to the angel statue that watched over her final resting place. The man wasnât looking at the grave or the angel. Instead, he appeared to simply be waiting impatiently. As he turned...
With a start, Jack recognized his father.
He thought he had to be mistaken at first. Tom Durand had made a point of telling him he would be in Los Angeles the next few days. Had his fatherâs plans changed? Surely, he would have no reason to lie about it.
Until recently, that his father might have lied would never have occurred to him. But things had been strained between them since Jack had told him he wouldnât be taking over the family business.
It wasnât just seeing his father here when he should have been in Los Angeles. It was seeing him in this cemetery. He knew for a fact that his father hadnât been here since the funeral.
âI donât like cemeteries,â heâd told his son when Jack had asked why he didnât visit his dead wife. âAnyway, what is the point? Sheâs gone.â
Jack felt close to his mother near her grave. âItâs a sign of respect.â
