We eventually fell asleep and on Sunday we decided to leave early and so we cleaned up the batch really early. I wanted to go for one last swim before we left and surprisingly when I got down to the beach I saw Ryan, and he wasn't alone.
He was with his mom. I tried to sneak past but Ryan saw me and waved me over. As I was walking towards them both I noticed how frail his mom looked. She had a multicoloured scarf on her head, and her cheeks were very sunken in. She looked very frail and I could see Ryan supporting her with his arm. She was smiling happily at him and I saw that she had the same dimple as him. Her eyes were a dark blue, nothing like Ryan's.
When she looked over to me, her smile widened a little and she was the first to speak.
'Ah, are you one of Ryan's friends? He never told me he knew any beautiful girls.' When she said the last statement I burst out in laughter. Funny lady, I am definitely not beautiful.
Ryan on the other hand went a little red which I thought was pretty cute.
'Mom! You never asked me that, and anyway this is Ana, Ana this is my Mom Madeline.' He told me while smiling at me.
'Hi' I said and held out my hand for her to shake.
She grabbed it and shook it softly, and I could feel the chill in her hands.
'Oh, your hands are so cold!' I gasped and started rubbing her hand in my hands to get them warm.
She laughed at the gesture, 'why thank you for being so concerned!'
'Your son's not looking after you properly Mrs. Powers; I think you might have to trade him in for a better model.' I teased.
Ryan rolled his eyes and his mother and I looked at him and laughed.
'Please, call me Maddy, and I think I'll have to settle for him to be honest, and at least I don't have to pay him.' I nodded in agreement and she playfully nudged Ryan and he gave her a winning smile.
'Can I compromise and call you Madeline? I love that name and the way it sounds.' I asked and they both started laughing.
I lifted my eyebrow in confusion and waited for them to stop so they could let me in on the joke.
'Grandad named her for that exact same reason.' Ryan told me and I smiled at the connection.
'He has good taste!' I exclaim and Madeline agrees with me.
Madeline and I make small talk for a while and she seems like such a lovely woman. She decides that she wants to dip her feet in the water but wants to do it by herself and so she leaves Ryan and me standing on the beach alone.
After a moments silence, I initiate conversation.
'So, I think we're leaving soon.' Is all I can manage to come out of my mouth.
So totally not what I wanted to say.
'Oh, ok that's cool. I think we're leaving later this afternoon. Mum never wants to leave.' He laughs awkwardly but I can't join in. I feel so ridiculous standing here and kind of expecting some kind of apology from him even though he has nothing to apologise for!
