She was over at my house all the time, to see my mom, and I had mowed her lawn since I was about eleven. She had gone to picnics and concerts with us....So I saw her more than just about any other adult. Except for some of my teachers, maybe. The point is that she was the only female adult in my life other than my mom who I was really familiar with, and who kidded around with me, and talked to me for more than two minutes at a time.Of course that meant she was also the only female in my life who.

Guess we’ll find out in an hour or two when the train comes in.” I pulled my coat closer against the winter air. Taking a deep breath I steadied myself as we walked the quarter mile to our home turning over in my mind the events of the past week. I knew I had thrown down the gauntlet with John when I told him to sleep somewhere else.I knew behind that calmness as he collected his things and told me he’d be at the office, that he was more than willing to wait this out. It was always my choice..
