Grand Finale
A single, lonely acacia tree graced the top of it like one of those paper umbrellas used for decorating fancy drinks. Only there was nothing fancy about this place. He hadn’t seen the hill from the camp. The view would have been blocked by the trees flanking the exam tent, but he did recall seeing a hill and some outcroppings from the chopper. The rest of the area spread into farmland and savannah prairies, with the occasional tree dappling the landscape. He had to admit, Lexi was smart. She knew exactly where he’d want to go.
“A vantage point,” he called out over the engine noise in acknowledgment of her plan.
“A sensible starting point. Some people get so obsessed with the details that they lose sight of the big picture.” She pressed her lips together and gave him a quick side glance.
No comment.
She didn’t know him well enough to make a statement like that. Not that she was necessarily directing it at him personally, but it sure felt that way. Granted he was more self-conscious and sensitive lately—two words that would never have come remotely close to describing his old self.
“I’m not sure what my mother has said about me, but I assure you, I don’t need you to play psychologist. I’m sharp enough to see the details and the big picture and to read between the lines. So, with all due respect, save your nursing for your patients.”
“My, you’re a piece of work,” she said, stopping at the top of the ridge and turning off the ignition. She slid out of her seat and slammed the door shut, sending a nearby flock of quail scattering into the air. “I get that you’re one of those big, strong, good-looking, superhero-type guys, but that doesn’t mean the world centers around your ego. I don’t play games. If I think you’re being narrow-sighted or pigheaded, I’ll tell you so, flat-out. My intent in bringing you up here is to show you that we are fine, will be fine and shouldn’t be shut down.”
He got out and cocked his head at her.
“Thanks for the ride. I’ll take it from here.”
He turned on his heel, tightening his left hamstring to keep his balance. He could feel her staring at his back as he left her standing there, judging him. He didn’t care.
