Hadaratha the head of the solar studies group was in my office demanding that the fit-out for Pathfinder be put off for more than a month until after ...hey got done with their next round of testing; as the Ion-pulse engines will interfere with their instruments. I had to come up with a very diplomatic solution because as you know India was not consulted or allowed to participate in the construction of Pathfinder, it was strictly NAC." I'm glad I don't have to play that political game, but I'm. “Good I’m glad, are you ready to go?” he asked. “Where are we going?” I asked, puzzled. “We’re going to visit Grandma Liz and Grandpa Joe for dinner tonight,” he explained, walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water. “Oh! I didn’t know. Is Mommy meeting us there?” I asked. Daddy took a drink of water and shook his head. “Mommy has a book club meeting tonight,” he said, “it’s just us. Put your shoes on so we can head out.”“Okay Daddy!” The short drive over was uneventful and when we pulled. "We went inside and walked over to where there were a number of suits. "John, do you like one piece suits or bikini's?" I like them both I said with glee." I guess I'll have to try on several then," she said teasingly.When Laurie walked out of the dressing room wearing this black one- piece suit I saw an angel. She looked absolutely stunning."Do you like it John?"I was speechless and just stood there looking at her. "Earth to John. Do you like it?" Laurie said as she stared at me knowing that. She never saw them argue or fight, but often heard them in their bedroom at night. Her Mommy was really loud! But it never sounded like they were fighting.Over time, she noticed them even more and the icky hugging and kissing stuff wasn’t icky. She noticed even more after she hit puberty. The way they looked at each other when they thought she wasn’t looking, sometimes the way they touched or hugged, sometimes the way they talked with each other. She would daydream about when she grew up.
