mom.” His voice was soft in the way he only ever spoke to her. Nobody else
got to hear him speak like that. It was only his mother who moved him enough to
speak so softly.
Once Kurt was settled into his room and
everything was unpacked he headed downstairs to find his mom had already made a
delicious vegetable stew and some dinner rolls. She asked all about his life on
the Army base and if he had made good friends out there. She, of course, asked
if he had a girlfriend. He knew she meant no harm. She just wanted to know all
about her son’s life.
Once they were done eating he insisted on
cleaning up the kitchen while she relaxed on the couch in the living room and
watched television. It was right around the time he finished cleaning up that
his father got home and greeted him. They all went to the living room and
watched a short movie together before his dad went to bed.
That was when his mother turned to look at him
with a look in her eye that meant something new was headed his way. It didn’t look
like anything bad so he wasn’t nervous.
“Kurt, honey,” she started off before scooting
closer to him on the couch. “I prepared a little something for your arrival
tomorrow night. Just a little party. Oh, honey, it’s just been so long since
you’ve been here!”
Chapter Two
Kurt ran his thumbs on the underside of the
sport coat’s collar and looked at his reflection in the mirror. This was
definitely not how he was used to dressing, but he saw nothing wrong in giving
his mother the small joy of seeing her only son in the coat she had so kindly
bought for him with the party in mind. After all, she was the only person in
the world who would put so much thought and effort into welcoming him home.
Kurt sighed. Maybe it was time to think about
visiting her more often. He had his independence, but maybe it was too much to
pull away from his mother so much.
After opting to keep the sports coat open, he
walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs to find his mom. She was busy in the
kitchen making sure everything was ready before setting it out on the long
table with a solid hunter green table cloth. It was in the formal dining room;
soon to be covered in finger foods and drinks. She turned to see Kurt leaning
against the archway that led from the hall to the kitchen and she smiled, eyes
shining.
“Oh, Kurt honey,” she said softly as she took a
step forward to survey him closer, “You look so handsome.” She looked at him
with a lot of pride before turning to look at all the food and then instructed
him to help her set it out. By the time they were done, the first couple of
guests had arrived.
They were two old friends from high school,
Jason and Tim, who had apparently remained best friends even until now. Jason
filled Kurt in on how he had been the first of the two to marry.
“But, you know, Tim with his competitive spirit
didn’t take that lying down.” Then he chuckled and added, with a wink, “Or,
rather he did and that’s why his wife got pregnant before mine!” The two men
burst into laughter. Kurt felt rather like an oaf forcefully chuckling along to
such an elementary and crude joke, but he didn’t want to be rude. Just then,
the front door opened and a family piled in.
Kurt side stepped the two men to greet whoever
had just entered, but it wasn’t long until he recognized them.
“Aunt
Madge!” Kurt called out with a boom. He held his arms wide open to hug her and
then looked down at her with a smile. “I didn't expect to see you!” It was
true. It had been countless years since he had spoken to his aunt Madge. She
had moved out of the state during his final year of high school. That in
combination with him leaving home and rarely returning meant it had been almost
a whole decade since he had last seen her. This struck him even more when he
