When Will You Let Her Go? part 2
Whumptober Day 9: Polaroid
LAURA WHUMP, emotional whump,
Summary: The redhead in the picture was not who she expected.
“Clint? Do you have any cash in your wallet?” Laura cracked the bathroom door and hollered in. "Cooper is going to the movies and I didn’t stop at the bank before you came back.”
Clint and the kids returned from New York a couple of days ago. Lila, Nate and Cooper couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had and how they wanted to go back next time.
“Wallet should be on the dresser or in my duffle bag.” He yelled back from the shower.
Not seeing it on the nightstand or dresser, she grabbed his black bag off the floor and set it on the bed.
The worn, old, leather wallet was stuffed with receipts, money, ticket stubs and a variety of business cards. She took a couple of twenties.
A brightly colored ticket was partially sticking out. It was for Rogers the Musical.
Laura straightened it and went to slide it back in when the date caught her eye.
She knew he and the kids went at Christmas last year, and then again this past week when they were in New York.
Clint never mentioned going to the play while he was out in the spring by himself.
She shoved the stub back in its spot and began to rummage through his wallet.
A few restaurant receipts from their trip that seemed way too much, but that city was expensive. A couple more from some women’s clothing stores.
Behind a wad of business cards was an old Polaroid picture folded in half.
Laura smiled wondering if it was from Clint’s childhood or when Lila decided she was going to be a professional photographer for one whole week.
Her smile dropped as soon as she unfolded the photo.
Red hair and a gorgeous smile looked up at her.
Except it wasn’t who she expected.
She turned the picture over to read the writing.
For my Hawk, so I can always be with you. Your little Spider.
