Back Home Again 1
Even on the jetway, Tina could feel the humidity. This was one aspect of her home state of North Carolina that she did not miss.
She waited on board the plane for the bulk of the passengers to clear off. Traveling with Angelica meant there’d be no racing though the airport. As they waited Angelica was content standing in the empty seat and watching the variety of people walk bye. She even waved or feigned shyness with those who waved to her as they passed.
“C’mon, Angie.” Tina grabbed her daughter and the small rolling bag, and started to slowly make her way down the aisle. Angelica had proved herself to be a fairly good traveler.
A fairly heavy traveler, also, Tina thought, shifting the girl’s weight. She gave one last smile to the young flight attendant who had taken her daughter on a few laps up and down the aisle during this leg. The woman was very cute, a fact that was not lost on Tina, but also very young.
Considering that the two of them had been traveling for the bulk of the day, with a leg from LAX to O’Hare, and then a second flight to Durham after the layover, she was pleased that her daughter had so far been well behaved.
First, baggage claim and then car rental. Finally, she was ready to head into town.
Although she’d reserved an intermediate-sized car, she found herself upgraded to a minivan. There was something about that choice that made Tina wonder if she was perhaps a victim of some large karmic joke.
The mom-mobile did have its plusses. Child seat installation went quick. And the remote door opening would come in handy.
“So, where to?” Tina asked. “Hotel or meet up with the family?”
Something in the question caught Angelica’s attention. “Momma B?” she asked, her voice hopeful.
“No, sweetie, Momma B’s back in California.”
A quick glance into the rear-view mirror let Tina know that the day’s peace had officially ended with that statement. Her daughter’s face was scrunched into a frown and growing more red. It would not be long before the screaming started.
Hoping the car ride and screaming might be enough wear the girl out, Tina cranked up the music and punched down on the accelerator.
The thought of inflicting this tired and crabby aspect of her daughter upon her family was certainly a temptation. The act would be like bringing her own personal Greek chorus, a way to transmit unstated emotion to the invisible observer.
“Hotel it is,” Tina said, as if the back seat occupant was truly listening at this point. “Hotel fo’ sure.”
