Summer Seasonings

At  

The House of Four Seasons

By Atonia Walpole

As I stood on this bluff this morning watching Jack sail away I felt the presence of many who have stood in this very spot, felt their fears, their wretchedness, their grief as they must have watched their own loves sail away. I felt none of this for myself for he is not gone, he will return to me. These spirits are comforted by my confidence, by the sureness of my love, of my eternal spring.

I know now that I am not alone here. This place holds many loves and it is their comforting warmth that surrounds me. They are the house. I am stronger now more than ever since the bonding of our hearts and our souls. I feel it within me. Whatever I have become so have my four seasons; we are one. I no longer live with the fear that this will all disappear one day for I know it will not.

Tomorrow is summer and Max will arrive. This year he arrives as my husband, the first of my seasons to place a ring on my finger. He is the air with the strength of the wind, the warmth of the sun, the coolness of the moon, the clarity of the sky, the combination of a storm. He is also extremely sexy and loving and I can hardly wait for him to arrive.

 

Part 1:

Breathing a great sigh of relief, he saw the weathered sign with an arrow directing him off the main highway onto the road that led to the house. He stopped the car outside the gates, not understanding exactly what was going on. He shook his head to rid it of the vision of the eighteen-wheeled lorry on his bumper. “You are going to open?” he asked the gate and indeed it did open silently and he drove onto the driveway to the house.

He parked the useless little car and got out, stretching his back and easing his shoulder muscles from clenching the steering wheel for the last five miles. This was a first and he thought he might leave on his bike this year, just in case he was off loaded cross country somewhere next year.

Toni opened the front door. She’d been watching for him for some time and was beginning to get a little worried. “Max, darling, is everything all right?”

He smiled and walked up the walkway to the front porch. “Hello, love.” He gave her a delicious kiss. “It is now. You won’t believe this. I was out on the highway with a monstrous lorry trying to eat me. All I could see was his front grillwork. It looked like teeth.”

“Oh, you poor darling, come in the house and let me make it all better.”

He walked into the house. ”Ahh, it’s already better. I’m home.” He bit his lip, “But, um, if you still want to um make it better?”

Toni smiled and put her arms around his neck. “I do, love, I do! Show mommy where it hurts.”

“I have a total body ache that I expect you to take care of but first I’d really like something to drink. I’m dry from the inability to breathe for the last twenty minutes.”

He tossed his jacket over the back of a chair and followed her into the kitchen.

“What would you like, darling, cold or hot?”

“Cold would be wonderful. Any lemonade?”

“Of course,” she reached over on the counter where a big crockery pitcher was filled with cool lemonade and poured him a large glass.

“Thank you, love.” He gave her a quick kiss.

“Max, how did you happen to be on the highway?”

“I have no idea. It scared the piss out of me at first because I didn’t know where I was until I saw a sign for Gloucester and then I started looking for the arrow sign between keeping an eye on the looming lorry.”

“Hmm, this is all very strange. John arrived outside the gates, too, but he was on our road out here.”

Max walked to the glass doors and out onto the terrace.

“I’m not sure I like this being dumped at will outside the gates. At least that’s what it appears to be. Perhaps there is a reason for it, something hidden for us to figure out.”

“Could be. Nothing is ever straight forward. Another thing, John is able to go outside the gates and into Gloucester alone. Scared me to death the first time he did that.”

“That may be it, something to show me I can venture forth, but I can assure you it will not be in that little car again. Not on motorways with lorry wheels larger than my vehicle.”

Toni suppressed a smile, “You’ve had a harrowing experience.”

“Yes…I have.” He sipped his lemonade, regarding her over the rim of the glass.

“I’m totally sympathetic.”

“I can see you are, dripping with it.”

Toni laughed, “I’m so glad you’re home, Max.”

“I’m bloody lucky to be home!” He set his glass down on the stone planter.

Toni ran her hand up his arm. “I’ve missed you.”

“Do you really when I’m not here, when Terry’s here?”

“Yes, he’s not you. No one can take your place in my heart, Max.”

“I’ve missed you, too. I never realized just how much until I found myself on the other side of the gates and they were closed. A moment of fear ran through me. I knew in my mind that they would open but there was that momentary reaction.”

“And you’d just come off the highway. You really have had an experience trying to get here. I think you need a little TLC.”

“No…I need a lot.” Her hand had moved up caressing his cheek and he kissed her fingers. “Take me upstairs, Toni.”

“I thought you’d never ask.”

Later she lay in his arms, he nibbling her fingertips. “You started something last summer.”

“I know, I hope you don’t regret it. I thought it was time to bind you to me.”

“I have no regrets. I couldn’t be happier.”

“I’m glad Jack completed the circle.”

“You know?”

He smiled and kissed her wrist. “Yes, they all followed suit as I knew they would.” He sat up and pulled a pillow behind his back against the headboard.

“Max, how do you know these things and I don’t?”

“Aside from being your lover and your husband, I am also your protector. You know we are all bonded together now.”

“Yes, I feel it. I know.”

“Then that’s all you need to know.” He pulled her to him and kissed her.

He’d never been one to discuss magic and wasn’t going to start now. He knew a lot more than he ever let her know. It was also easy for him to distract her questioning. He knew that, too.

Toni knew what he was doing and let him. The feel of him, the taste of him and his intoxicating scent was all she needed for now.

 

Max stopped at the edge of the pond. “There’s a waterfall.”

“Oh, yes, that came in the fall. Nice, isn’t it?”

“Is it real? I mean,” he smiled, “is there a natural water source or is it pumped?”

“Now why would I ever wonder about that? I thought it was very pretty and another place to enjoy.”

“Hmm, just curious.” He was putting the wooden boat in the water and, noting the oars on the wall of the boat house, threw them in the bottom of the boat.

“You remembered the oars?" She smiled, settling back on the seat.

Max glanced at her. “I much prefer the pole but it went missing.” He paddled them over to the waterfall and looked up.

 “It’s pond water,” he declared.

“We’ve never been in the pond.” She looked over at the flat rock that she and Terry had sat on, dangling their feet in the water last fall.

“That could be arranged.”

“I suppose it could but then you’d have to jump in to save me, being my protector and all. The bottom is probably slimy and mucky.”

“I am aware,” he bumped the boat on the edge of the pond, “that you swim.” He jumped out and roped the boat to a rock and held his hand out for her to step out. “Careful there.”

He handed her out of the boat, explored the hillside a little and then came back down and sat with her on the rock.

“Does it meet with your approval, Mr. Skinner?”

“Yes, Mrs. Skinner, it does and so do you.” He took her face in his hands and kissed her.

“Mmm, I do love the taste of summer. We should have brought a picnic.”

Max turned around, searching over the rock and then smiled when it appeared. “I did not consult with the lady of the house but I hope the basket contents will please you.”

Toni smiled, “Anything you do pleases me.

They finished their picnic and took the bottle of wine and glasses back to the boat. Max brought them to the middle of the pond and lay down in the bottom of the boat with her. They were looking up at the sky and talking.

“We have cell phones now, except for Terry. He’ll have one in the fall. We’ll have to get you one.”

“Oh, dear, you brought cell phones into this paradise? Snakes will follow and all known pestilence.”

“It was necessary for John and I think it’s a good idea since you can leave on your own now.”

“I can’t imagine wanting to go anywhere without you. I have a phone. I left it in the car.”

“If you’ll bring it in, I’ll tie it to the rest of us.”

He looked over at her. “I shall sit in the bed and summon you from the kitchen.”

“What makes you think I’ll be in the kitchen?”

He grinned, “Ah, Toni, I do love you.” He closed his arms around her.

 

Part 2:

Warm summer days followed and they settled into a lazy time by the pool or on the beach.

“You’ve already got a tan going, Toni.”

“It’s from sailing. Can you imagine how cold the ocean is around here in April?”

“No, I shouldn’t want to think about it.” He dug his foot into the sand. “How far did you sail?”

“All up and down the coast. Sometimes we put in at a little village and walked around, found a meal.”

“Sounds like fun.”

“It was.”

“Did you ever go back and see your auntie?”

“No, but I did call and give her my mobile number. I have talked with her. She always asks about you and doesn’t understand why I don’t go to England and live with you.”

“It has occurred to me that I have never taken you anywhere.”

“We went to Boston.”

“That doesn’t count. We’ll think about it. Think about where you’d like to go.”

“Anywhere with you, Max.”

Later that evening she got a phone call from her auntie. Her grandmother was in the hospital and not expected to live. Toni was upset and torn as to what to do. Her grandmother lived in Richmond, Virginia.

“There is no question, Toni. You will go and I will go with you.”

“But, Max, we can’t. We’d have to fly.”

“Have you never been on a plane?”

“Yes, but it’s the time, Max.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll make all the arrangements…we’ll be fine, darling.”

Max went online and got their tickets. They were to fly out of Logan in Boston. Toni packed for both of them, aware she may never see this place again. She was in tears when they drove out of the gates.

“Pull yourself together, love. I wouldn't let anything happen to you.”

“It’s not me, it’s you, Max. This is dangerous ground.” Max smiled and took her hand.

It was early morning when they arrived in Richmond and took a taxi to the hospital. Toni conferred with the nurses before going into her grandmother’s room.

“Mamam, it’s Toni.” She leaned over the bed, alarmed at the number of tubes and wires protruding from the sheet.

The old lady opened her eyes and a light came into them. “Toni,” her voice was weak as she continued, “I never thought to see you again.”

“I’m so sorry I haven’t been to see you.”

“I’m glad you’re here. I’m not going to make it, Toni.”

“Don’t say that, Mamam. Sure you will.”

“No, my time has come. Who is this with you?”

“This is my husband, Max Skinner.” Max stepped forward and took her hand in his.

“Mrs. Stanley, I’m happy to meet you.”

“Mamam, I’m Mamam. Toni named me that when she was very young. I raised her, you know, after my son and her mother were killed in the auto accident.”

“I didn’t know. She’s turned out very well.”

“Yes, she has.” Mamam reached for her glasses and Toni handed them to her. She looked at Max for a long time, holding his hand, recognition dawning as to what he was but she said nothing about it. She smiled at him and tightened her grip on his hand. “I’m glad she has you.”

Max nodded his head.

They spent most of the day with her Mamam, only leaving once to check into the hotel. At the last minute Max had reserved a suite, with two bedrooms. Later that night Max left Toni in the hospital room and walked outside into a little prayer garden and sat on a bench. It was getting close. He summoned his brothers.

He explained the situation to them. “I’d like for you all to go up and meet her. She knows who I am.”

“How does she know? Did you tell her?” John wanted to know.

“No, but she knows.”

When they left the elevator and walked to her room, two doctors were coming out. Max walked in to Toni, “What happened, love?”

“She’s going, Max.” She bit her lip and buried her face in his shoulder.

“Your seasons are here. Would you mind if they see her?”

“They’re all here…? I wouldn’t mind at all.”

The four of them stood on either side of her bed with Toni at the foot. When she opened her eyes she gazed from one to the other and back at Max, who introduced them and called them his brothers.

“I know your brothers and I know you.” She looked at her granddaughter and with her last breath sighed contentedly, "I know where you are now.”

The room began filling with nurses and doctors and Max led a sobbing Toni from the room, his brothers following down to a small waiting room.

“How did she know us?” John wondered.

“She’s been to the house,” Jack replied. “At sometime in her youth, she was there.”

“I’m glad we met her. She’s at rest now that she knows where Toni is.” Terry sat down on the little sofa next to her. “I’m sorry, Toni.”

Toni wiped her eyes with the tissues Max handed her. “Thank you, Terry, thank you all for being here.”

John walked out into the hallway and met her grandmother’s doctor who wanted to talk to her. Jack and Terry joined him while Toni and Max talked with the doctor.

“This is going to take a while, you know,” John commented, pacing back and forth. “There will be a funeral. She’ll have to be here.”

“That’s why we’re all here.” Jack leaned against the wall.

“How long do you think, John?” Terry asked.

John stopped pacing. “Funeral's usually within two or three days, then there will be her estate to settle. She might be able to do that from the house. I hope she had a will. That will make it easier. Either way we’re looking at another trip down here.”

“We need to arrange for some mode of transportation. Who has a driver’s license?” Jack asked.

John and Terry both spoke up. “Mine’s English,” Terry added.

“It might be better if you see about renting a car. I need to update mine,” John remarked.

“You’ve been driving about with an outdated license? You a sheriff?” Jack raised a brow.

John shrugged and Terry pressed his lips together suppressing a smile.

“Take my phone, Terry.” John handed it over. “We’ll get one for you tomorrow.”

Terry walked away from them and got in touch with a car rental agency. “They’re going to deliver it here, take about an hour.”

“Good man.” Jack stepped back to let the doctor out of the room. They all followed him back inside.

One look at Toni and Max told Jack they needed some rest. “Terry has a car coming. I suggest we go down and wait for it. I assume you have booked accommodations, Max?”

“Yes, I have a suite, two bedrooms and a pull out. I’m afraid you'll have to make do.”

“We've bedded down in much worse, have we not, Terry?” Terry nodded.

Once back at the hotel Max put Toni to bed and joined the others for a drink, he’d been up for nearly thirty hours.

Terry raided the mini bar and grew the bottles to a more useful size as he poured them each a shot.

“You should go to bed, Max. You’re asleep on your feet,” John observed.

“I am. I just wanted a moment to let you know…"

“No words are necessary, Max. We all know why we are here and what we must do together. Go to bed, man.” Jack knocked back his shot. “Pray what was that vile liquid?”

Terry grinned, “Johnny Walker Red.”

Max swallowed his drink and winced. “I’ll see you later. You can sort yourselves out for sleeping.”

They flipped a coin for the sofa bed and Terry lost. Jack and John took the two beds in the bedroom.

Max and Toni slept in the next morning and when John and Jack emerged from their room it was to find the sofa bed put back in order and Terry gone.

“What could he be up to? He should know what must be done this morning.” Jack paced over to the window while John made a pot of coffee.

“He’s probably running, Jack. He does that every morning according to Toni.”

A knock on the door proved to be a hot and sweaty Terry. “Ta mate, forgot about the door being locked.” He came into the room and looked at Max’s bedroom door. “Still at it?”

John turned around, frowning, and Jack smiled, “Yes, haven’t surfaced yet.”

“I’m for the shower.” Terry went into their room to wash.

Max was slowly coming to life and placed his hand on Toni’s hip. She was spooned against him. He looked over at the small clock radio. They had a little time yet. Toni moved against him and he kissed her neck.

“Morning, love.”

“Umm…coffee?”

A cup appeared on her beside table. Max noted her magic was still strong but unless they renewed themselves it would not be for long. “We have to wake up, love.”

Toni finished in the bathroom and Max donned a robe. “Come, love, there is something we must do.” He opened the bedroom door.

“God damn, man!” exclaimed Jack. “Have you looked at him this morning, Toni?”

Toni still not really awake looked over at Max. “Um, yes, he always looks like this in the morning. Cute  isn’t he?”

Max smiled pleasantly and walked over to his brothers.

“Toni, we are going to renew our magic,” Jack began. “Each of us carries twenty-four hours, but for it to work each of us has to touch you. You will be kissed and passed from one to the other very quickly. Do not fight it.”

“Just go with it, Toni,” John added.

Max took her in his arms and kissed her, turned her to Terry who did the same thing, quickly turning her to John and John to Jack.

Jack released her, her eyes wide. “Do you feel it, Toni?”

She stood very quietly for a moment, still a little rattled from all the kissing, but she did feel it flowing through her and she smiled, “I do feel it…do all of you feel it?” They did.

“Okay, that’s five days, ” John said, picking up his coffee from the counter in the little kitchenette.

“She has to contact her grandmother’s clergyman this morning and make the arrangements for the funeral,” Max explained, looking for a cup in the kitchen. Not finding one, he made one appear and poured a cup of coffee. “We should be able to leave after that.”

“Auntie Sara will want to come, Max. Mamam was her sister-in-law.”

“Where does she live?” Terry asked.

“Boston. I’m going to call this number the doctor gave me for her clergyman.” Toni took out her phone and went back to the bedroom.

“I didn’t know she had a relative that close by. We might have visited.” Terry also was looking for a coffee cup.

Max turned, “I’ve met her, a very sweet lady, wonders why Toni doesn’t come to England and live with me year round.”

“That might get a bit tricky, then, if I took her to visit.”

“You’re good with words, Terry. I’m sure you could come up with something, perhaps grow a beard, buy some spectacles.”

“No mate, that’s not on. Where did you find that cup?”

Max snapped his fingers and grinned. A cup appeared in Terry’s hand.

“Card tricks next?”

“I shouldn’t be wasting magic, my brothers, we may need all we have before this trip is over.” Jack had dressed and was tying his hair back.

Toni came out of the bedroom, “Okay, I’ve an appointment with the clergy at 11:00. After that we have to choose a casket at the funeral home and I’ve called Auntie. I said we’d make her travel arrangements for her and her maid and call back and let her know when to be at the airport and so forth.”

“I’ll make the arrangements for her." Max pulled out his phone.

“You’re the driver, Terry,” John stated. “I’m going to take a shower.

“I could have driven,” Max said, getting into the car.

“Not when it’s on my permit. Ya get pulled over and try explain that.”

“I’d tell them I’m you only better looking. Do you have any idea where you’re going?”

Toni handed the instructions over the seat to Max, who navigated.

 

“Are you coming in?” she asked Terry when they pulled in front of the parsonage.

“No, luv, I’ll come back for ya.”

Toni gave him her phone. “Max will call.”

Terry went back to the hotel and picked up John and Jack.

Max walked out to the end of the drive and called Terry to come and get them. He’d been fed tea and biscuits and that had only reminded him that he’d had no breakfast.

“We stop at the funeral home,” Toni said as they got into the car, she in between Max and John in the back seat.

“For lunch? Oh, can’t we eat before we go there, Toni? I’m starving.” Max moaned from the back seat.

“I think I’d rather eat before, too,” John spoke up.

“We don’t have to go in there,” Terry said over the seat. “How long could it take?”

“I’ll go in with you, Toni,” Jack said, “the rest of you can sit in the car.” He got out and opened the back door.

“Thank you, Jack,” Toni murmured as they walked inside. “I don’t like this place, Jack, a place who’s business is death.”

“It’s not a very pleasant thought. What we do at sea is much better, I believe.”

Jack was at her side while she completed her choice and made arrangements with the home.

“Now that’s completed we can feed your husband,” Jack said as they walked through the door. Toni stopped and looked at him.

“You’re my husband, too.”


“Not this season, my pet. You’re wearing Max’s ring. You belong to him.” He kissed her lightly on the cheek and led her to the car.

Once back in the car Max took her hand. “Sorry, darling…for being a pig.”

“You aren’t a pig.” She leaned against his shoulder, looking down at her left hand where the diamond circlet graced her finger. “You’ve been here for me every step of the way, taking the initiative and making things happen.” She glanced at John’s hands on his knees beside her. He wasn’t wearing his wedding ring.

They found a place for lunch and then stopped off at a mall to find Terry a phone. As they walked though the mall heads were turning in their direction. “We should get out of here.” Toni said. “These people go to movies.”

Jack, dressed casually in a pair of jeans and a white shirt with his hair tied back, was getting smiles from passing ladies. “I think you are correct, my pet.” But he did smile back, Toni noticed.

It gave her a bit of a rush walking with all four of them, each so handsome, each so different, each belonging to her. She was quite proud of them.

Part 3:

Terry dropped Max and Jack off at the hotel and she and Terry went to the airport to pick up her Auntie.

“You’ve been chauffering all day,” she said quietly as they drove to the airport.

“It’s something I can do, Toni. I’m not much good for anything else right now.”

“You’re here with me and I’m drawing from your quiet strength.”

“You can have all of it. I give it to you.”

“There is no all of it, Terry. I’ve never found the bottom of you.” Toni was aware this conversation could not go on. She wished now someone else had ridden with them. She turned, looking out the window, trying to think of something besides the man behind the wheel at her side.

“How will you explain all of us to your Auntie?”

“I’m not sure, Terry. She knows Max and knows we’re married.”

He pulled into the airport and found a parking space. “Maybe you won’t have to explain.” He met her eyes briefly and turned and got out of the car. He came around to her side and opened her door, drawing her out and into him for a moment. Leaving his hands on the car door and the roof of the car, he kissed her softly. Employing all the control he had, he backed away and let her out of the car door and closed it.

“Let’s go find Auntie.” He took her hand as they walked into the airport.

She introduced him simply as Terry Thorne and he gathered their luggage and carried it to the car bringing the car up to the door. He was very good with her Auntie, helping her from the wheelchair they’d brought and stowing it in the trunk of the car, talking with her.

The conversation back to the hotel was about the arrangements and the songs that might be sung at the funeral. Terry called her Mum once and she loved that, stating that she never had any sons but that she might adopt him. Terry called ahead and Max met them at the entrance to the hotel.

“Hello, Auntie.” He gave her a kiss after transferring her to the wheelchair.

“Max, how good to see you. Sorry about this wheeled contraption but I can’t walk very far and Letty can’t carry me.” Her maid smiled and patted her shoulder.

“Looks a good ride to me,” he smiled and pushed her to the elevator. He’d managed to get a suite of rooms identical to the one he had on the same floor.

Max sat and talked with Auntie for awhile and Terry brought up the luggage, Lettie telling him where to put it. Auntie Sara looked from Max to Terry.

“I think you must be related somehow. Max didn’t you tell me you didn’t have any family left except a cousin or something?”

“Yes, Auntie, I did.” Max glanced at Toni.

Terry picked it up. "He has brothers, tries to deny us, but here we are. There are two others. I’m sure you’ll meet them tomorrow.”

“You have different last names?”

“Yes, mum. You see, Dad never married our mothers,” Terry smiled and left Max with it.

Toni had to look away and cover her mouth. That was clever of him.

“Oh!” Auntie’s eyes widened.

Back in their own suite Max shook his head. “Thanks, Terry, for clarifying our relationship.”

“Ta mate, anytime,” Terry smiled, shifting on the sofa to make room for Max.

“So what are we doing for dinner?” Max asked.

“The restaurant in the hotel looks pretty good. I had a look at the menu,” John suggested.

“Do they serve alcohol?”

“Full bar, Max,” John replied.

“Toni?”

“Sounds good. I’m not up to going out anywhere tonight. Kinda tired.”

They went down to dinner and afterwards Terry, Jack and Max went to the bar for another drink. John came upstairs with Toni.

He took her hand in the elevator. “You doing okay, Toni?”

“Yes, it’s stressful, you know, this whole thing. Mamam dying, all of us here, tomorrow there’s a viewing, next day the funeral. I’ll just be glad when it’s over and we can go home.”

“I think you’re holding up great.” He squeezed her hand.

“Want some coffee?” he asked when he shut the door to their suite.

“Seems strange you asking me that. Yes, I would like some.”

“It’s our turn to take care of you.” He got the pot going and sat down on the sofa with her.

“You are all doing a good job. So we’ve got magic for four more days?”

“Yeah, what did you think about the renewal this morning?”

“It happened so fast I wasn’t sure what was going on. We each gave each other a day?”

“Yes, that’s what happened, passing from one to the other though you and to you.”

Toni leaned her head back on the sofa. “That’s why it was done so fast.” She turned and grinned at him. “Why not just kiss each other?”

“What…we don’t kiss guys. We kiss you.” John kissed her, taking her face in his hand.

“Better watch out there, Biebe.”

“I can kiss you. I just can’t take you in there.” He nodded toward the bed and got up and poured her coffee.

“It’s not an easy thing, you know, having you all here. Magic rules don’t take away the desire.”

“No, they don’t.” He sat back down. “Just don’t ever break them, Toni…don’t.”

“I won’t, no, I wouldn’t want to. I’m Max’s wife now.”

“Max is doing the right thing with you. I wish you could have come sooner and visited when she was alive.”

“I know. I really regret that. I think they’re back. Max should have a key.”

“Aren’t  we cozy,” he said, coming over to her. John got up. “We had a drink to your Mamam.”

“Did you? She would have liked that.”

“I need to take you to bed.” Max looked into her eyes.

“Yes you do, Max,” she said softly.

“Is it too much love?” he asked, taking off his shoes. “Having them all here?”

“Too much…stay close to me.”

“I’m going to do better than that, I’m going to love you until you fall asleep and tomorrow you will not be out of my sight.”

“Oh, Max, that’s just what I need…I need you.”

Max was true to his word. They visited with her Auntie in the afternoon and later as it grew closer to the time to leave for the wake, Jack and John and Terry came to her room.

“Well,” she said looking from one to the other, “you certainly must have had a handsome father.”

“We have come, Miss Stanley, to escort you to the wake.” Jack bowed and kissed her hand.

“I have never had such handsome men in attendance before.”

Toni smiled as they charmed and tenderly cared for her Auntie, helping her in the car and out into her chair. She looked up at Max and took his arm. He’d been at her side all day.
