Standing there at the sink, she felt the tears ran down her face as she thought of her daughter."Tina, where are you?" she quietly said.Mike walked in...o the kitchen and saw his wife of sixteen years standing there crying. With a sigh, he moved up behind her. He gave her a hug and a kiss and whispered in her ear, "Hey, I love you."Danielle turned and looked at her husband and whispered back, "I love you, too. I am just so worried about Tina." I know sweetheart, but those people seemed like they. " Kim shot back with a laugh as she left my room.In spite of myself I couldn't help but smile. Kim often had a way of making me smile where others couldn't. Suddenly she poked her head back in my room."I saw that smile tough guy. Careful or you might ruin your reputation showing that softer, gentler side." Kim said with a giggle."Jesus, leave already you little hussy!" I heard Kim laughing as she shut my bed room door.I got up and dressed in shorts and a tank top. I grabbed my swim suit before. This is my story!It was Friday night and I was waiting for my husband Mark to get home from his nightly meeting. We were going to go out dancing at our favorite spot. I was getting dressed in my comfortable blue denim shirt and jeans, when the phone rang. It was Mark, "He told me that he didn't know when he would be home, probably not until late." I hung up the phone and started getting undressed; I was just going to stay home. No, I should go out and have fun I thought. As nasty thoughts. The walls were still a butterscotch color with suns, moons and stars as a border. I lay down in my bed and tried, unsuccessfully, to sleep. Tossing and turning, I couldn’t think of anything but the past 24 hours. I went through every moment in my head, trying to figure out what your decision would be. I knew what I wanted. It was the same thing that I had always wanted, for us to be together. I knew it would be difficult, because of the distance between us, but I think that our love could be.
