Understanding now why Mom was not there.
Why Dad was acting so strangely.
I realized that this was the moment when Dad would tell me that they were calling it quits.
That although they still loved each other, they were no longer compatible and were going their separate ways.
However, the discussion never came.
Although throughout the first hour of our drive, with Country playing softly over the truck's tinny speakers, he inhaled like he was about to say something important, before the words became lodged in his throat.
Where did Mom go?
I finally asked, staring out the window at the smudge of passing trees and distant hills, twisting the silver heart ring Mom had given me for my thirteenth birthday.
It had become a nervous habit.
Is she staying for the weekend?
I think so, he muttered, tapping a pack of Marlboros against his thigh, sliding out a smoke and placing it between his pursed lips.
Must have been one hell of a fight.
I managed after a moment.
I turned to face him, studying his expression.
His reply was simple.
But his expression?
He looked lost.
We drove on, dad chain-smoking the rest of the ride.
The hum of the engine and the rumble of the tires over the uneven and cracked pavement providing the soundtrack to the awkward, suffocating silence between us.
We arrived at Camp Skadetimuc, around four, and Dad eased into the empty gravel parking area, pulling into a spot beneath two towering oaks, their massive limbs bereft of foliage, but stippled with green buds.
