ever seen.   It was that face of hers, in fact, that made him want her so badly when
they were in college all those years ago.   Then one night she finally gave in.   It was a coupling that led to the birth of Jade.   “You’re still looking refreshingly
beautiful,” he added.
    He
was staring at her with that assessing way of his she hated, where his frosty
green eyes seemed to be looking right through her.   “I’m good,” she said with a smile.   “I’m enjoying the job at Barridge College,
which I’m sure you had a hand in helping me to get.   I couldn’t be better.”
    Dutch
heard her words, but her eyes told a different story.
    She
folded her arms, wishing he’d stop that darn staring.   “How’s Gina and Walter?” she asked him.
    “They’re
doing well, thank-you.   Thank-you for
asking.”
    “They’re
ready for Jade’s visit?”
    “It
would appear,” Dutch said, which seemed like an odd response to Sam.   But then the waiting room door opened again
and Jade, along with Dr. Luther Forbes, the head of the hospital, hurried
in.   Dutch turned and saw his hazel-eyed
beauty of a daughter, and smiled.
    “Daddy!”
Jade yelled and ran into his arms.   Dutch
held her tightly.
    Sam
felt a rush of jealousy, as Jade did not even acknowledge her presence.   She looked at Forbes.   “Hello, doctor,” she said.
    “Nice
to see you again, Mrs. Redding.   I didn’t
expect to see you here.”
    “I’m
here to be with my daughter and see her and her father off.”
    “Yes,
of course.   You have been most
supportive.   That’s always wonderful for
the patients.   You’ve gone above and
beyond.”
    When
Jade and Dutch stopped embracing, Jade quickly kissed him on the lips and held
onto him again, which caused him to flinch.   Part of her sickness had been her unhealthy obsession with her father,
and on all of Dutch’s previous visits it appeared as if she was over such
feelings.   But now, the way she kissed
him, the way she held him, gave him pause again.   As if, to his alarm, she was regressing?  
    He’d
been assured by the Hammersmith staff countless times that she was fine, and no
longer had such an obsession.   And he
knew it could be the excitement of getting out for a couple of days that was
driving her affection.   But he took no
chances.   He gently removed her arms from
around his waist.   “Your mother’s here
too,” he said.   “I’m sure she wants some
of that love herself.”
    “But
I see Mom all the time,” Jade rebelled.   Dutch could see the disappointment in her eyes after he released
her.   “She’s always here.   All the time.”
    Sam
smiled, although she was aching inside.   “You make me sound like a worn out old shoe.   Hello, daughter.”
    Jade
realized her error and immediately put on an unnaturally grand smile and ran
into her mother’s arms.   “Oh, mom, you
know I love seeing you each and every time!”
    Sam
returned her embrace.   Dutch was staring
at both of them.
    Luther
Forbes went over to Dutch and extended his hand.   “Mr. President,” he asked, “how are you?”
    “I’m very
well, doctor, thank-you,” Dutch said, shaking his hand.   “I see you’ve been taking very good care of
my daughter.”
    Before
Forbes could speak, Jade stopped hugging her mother as if she was casting her
aside.   “Wonderful care,” she said,
chiming in.   She understood the
importance of getting this right.   “I am
so grateful to you, Daddy, for putting me in a facility like this.   The staff have been, what can I say?   The best.   Nothing but the best.”
    Dutch
considered her.   “You feel ready then?”
    “Totally.   I couldn’t be more ready.   And to be going home with you?   That makes it all the more great for me.”
    Dutch
looked at Forbes.   “Is it arranged?”
    “Yes,
sir.   He’s on his way as we speak.”
    Jade
looked at her father.   This had to go off
without a hitch.   She had to be so
perfect that he
