He removed the foil, sliced each of them open, added butter and salt and placed one on each of the plates on the counter. He returned to the table and...kissed Caitlin again. “I gotta get the steaks off the grill. Medium rare, right?”“Right! I am amazed at all the stuff you remember from our conversations,” she said.Chris smiled and stepped out the back door. Caitlin noticed the very fancy grill he had on his porch. He lifted the lid, grabbed some tongs and placed each steak on a plate. He came. Give us a call!”With that, Lucy took his arm and was leading him away. When they were out of hearing, Lucy shook her head.“God, what a pair of bitches! What did you do to them? Step on their brooms?”Danny shrugged. “I don’t know. They just don’t like me I guess.”“Oh, well. Let’s make the best out of this. Any ideas what to do while we’re here?”“Rats! I forgot to ask how long they plan to stay.”“Nope. Helen forgot to tell you. Let’s do stuff and if we’re in the middle of something, she’ll just. And you, you were so willing to ... what was your word ... share." And that's because I was almost sure of what I was sharing."

The last thing he needed was to depend on something or someone who proved to be unable to.
