Prodigal Chapter 13
Caroline Kennard, Caroline said, picking up the phone.
Ms. Kennard, we have a man who says hes your father on the line, the operator said.
Carolines stomach dropped to her knees. This cant be good. Eyes wide, she looked at her brother. Its Daddy.
No *****, Danny said, shocked.
Ill accept the call, Carrie said, swallowing hard.
Caroline, its your father, Jackson Kennard said matter-of-factly. He had a way of stating the obvious. Like Carrie had never spoken to him on the phone before.
Hi, Dad, Carrie said simply. There was virtually no emotional inflection, like she was sixteen and greeting the father she saw every morning as she walked past him out the door on her way to school.
Now came the awkward part. He never asked how she was or what she was doing. Caroline didnt think that it was because he didnt care. He just didnt know how. Instead, he cut right to the reason he was calling. Is your brother with you?
Yes, Dad, Dannys here. Do you want to talk to him? Carrie found it difficult to keep the exhausted irritation out of her voice. She loved her father, but sometimes, like now, it was just difficult to remember that he was actually trying to be a good man. He just didnt understand.
No, no. Your mother told me that he had flown out to LA to see you. I was surprised. Thats all. Caroline heard what he really meant. He didnt believe his wife and called to confirm it himself. Jackson Kennard was a smart man. He knew there was no reason for his son to fly to LA to see Caroline. Caroline came home to visit the children regularly. The only thing that would bring Danny 3,000 miles away from his son and daughter was Tina.
Where is mom? Carrie asked, wanting to change the subject.
Shes here. She sends her love as always.
There was a long silence. Three thousand miles of dead air and a ***** expensive long distance call. Caroline rolled her eyes. Dad, is there something you want to know? You can ask me.
Have you seen her? Their father hadnt said Tinas name since the day she left. If Caroline brought her up, he would say dont talk about her.
