" She didn't seem to mind the question, but I began to mind my question. Somehow, ignorance seemed better at that moment. Deep down I suspected her ha...ing a boyfriend, but I simply refused to allow myself to believe. Now that the truth was staring me in the face, literally, I wasn't sure how to react. "Oh, that's nice." God, I hope I didn't sound like I had swallowed an entire bowl of sour crout, as I imagined I did. "What about you? Have that big house all to yourself?" "Yep, yep. Just me and. Your brain is quick and you are smart. You have made me proud every day since I have taken you as my son. I knew that you would turn out to be the right man, but still I had to wait.

Gray Eagle frowned and took his head in his hands.. “What are you doing here?” Armisen frowned, his voice deep and menacing.“I, uh, I was just here to do some housekeeping,” Carson stammered, picking up the giant’s pants and folding them. “I’m so sorry, sir. I thought you were out.”“Well, can you come back later?” Armisen asked, annoyed. “I’m expecting a call.”“Sure,” Carson nodded. “Just let me hang this for you.”Armisen gave him a slight nod and Carson walked past him, towards the closet. He looked over his shoulder, getting his first look at. He came in and spoke over the phone to her, and told her, "Don't ever change!" That was the key. He left with the promise that he would return as soon as possible. I used my copier to make an enlarged copy of the photo he had, and made a copy of my photo for him to take with him.It was almost a month later before he was able to return, but, he came just a short time before she would come to visit me. She had already called to tell me that she was on the way. He sat in the "shack" and we talked.
