There Will Be More

by Cathy Pace Matthews

  Emma drove back to her hotel and kicked off her heels. She hated wearing shoes and got out of them as soon as she could when she was home. Emma pulled her cell phone out of her purse again and called her grandparents.

  “Hello”

  “Hi Meme, how are you guys doing tonight?”

  “We’re OK honey. How are you doing?”

  “I'm just trying to take all this in Meme. I barely remember this woman and I haven’t seen or heard from her since I was a child. Hell, I didn’t even know she was still alive until I got word she had died. How crazy is that? I’m also not real sure about this lawyer I’m dealing with.”

  “What’s with the lawyer?”

  “I don’t know. Something about him just bothers me. I feel like I have met him before, but I know there isn’t any chance of that, at least not that I can think of anyway. I also got the feeling that he expected something from me. I feel like I failed some sort of test.”

  “Emma I’m sure that finding out about your other grandmother isn’t easy for you.”

  “Meme I just don’t understand any of it.”

  “Emma you know if you need us all you have to do is say so?”

  “I know.”

  Emma talked for a little while longer and then hung up.

  Once off the phone, she got her things together and took a long hot shower and went to bed. Emma knew she had a lot to deal with tomorrow and wasn’t looking forward to that drive out to the farm. It was about thirty miles from Cape, and she was going to have to use the GPS on her phone and a map in all probability. The cell service after you got out of Cape wasn’t the greatest from what she had heard. There was no telling where she might end up if she wasn’t careful. She had already been on the road a good deal yesterday with the drive from Memphis and she just wasn’t up to another one. The drive from there to here was about a three and a half to four-hour drive. The last thing she wanted to happen tomorrow was to take a wrong turn and end up God only knows where. She would have to make sure she didn’t make any wrong turns.

  With that last thought Emma turned off the lights, got comfortable, and quickly fell asleep.
