He said, “This morning you were a small child in pain, Honor.”
Honor said, “I graduate pretty soon, Cain.”
He turned on her savagely. “Get this straight. In the summers we’re here, on the boat, on the Sound. Somewhere on water, anyway. We’ll go to that damned mountain only in the winter.”
“Yes, Cain.”
“Now I’ll have to brush up on my math, I suppose,” he growled. He closed his mouth suddenly, grabbed her and kissed her. Finally he stopped.
“Go home,” he said. “Go home. I’ll call you later.”
“Yes, Cain.” She went silently.
He watched her putt away, disappearing around the Point. Then he looked at the sun on the placid water. “I suppose I can wait until she graduates,” he said aloud. He looked away from the Sound and faced her place. Through the gap in the trees, he could see sunlight reflected from her telescope.
“Oh hell,” he said. He ran a signal up his mast. Then he sat down to enjoy the few moments of privacy he had left.
