She kept telling herself he didn't care anymore. It would be conceited to think otherwise, she thought.She had half a mind to call him, and ask him to...come over. Just to see if he would do it. Should she? She was so lonely, maybe he would forgive her for being a bitch and come over. Her parents were gone that night, plus, she reasoned, it's not like she was going to sleep with him again. She began to get nervous as she looked up his number in the book. Then she calmed herself down, knowing how. Then it is hard for us tohang out when he was single for he pined on about Sammy." I am sorry.."Sam did not want to talk about the past. It was hurtful to Hermie andhimself. Even with it being an unpleasant topic those two, who shouldbe together, needed to talk about it. Hermie wanted and neededclosure to be able to move on from Sam. Sam needed it also, but didnot believe so. Even if that subject was important to his well being,they would not talk about it on his birthday. Today he wanted to. Phillip drove up immediately (He lives in Marshall) to see if it was him. Phillip said he noticed right off it wasn’t chucks but Sandra swore it came to the right house and looks like him. Finally I asked her to check his teeth. Numchucks had lost half his teeth in his old age. This dog had a full set of teeth and healthy too. Later Sandra found the owners and returned to lost lab to it’s home. But the Legendary Numchucks had made such an impression of being a miracle dog that I couldn’t put it. Hair in place…. make up fresh. I wanted to look my best…. although I wasn’t feeling it. A long, impatient flight from Australia to America. I felt crumpled and disheveled. I was glad to be off the plane at long last. But now I had this sickening butterfly feeling in the pit of my stomach. What if you were disappointed? What if I don’t turn out to be what you’re expecting? Oh my God…am I doing the right thing here or am I setting myself up for the worst kind of heartbreak? Well…. I can’t stand.
