"What the hell? Cutting and running huh? Figured you'd try something like that. I've been keeping an eye on you... when I saw you packing stuff out he...e I got in touch with everyone. You have some explaining to do buster." Nothing to explain. I left a message about what I was up to with my kids... no secrets... just moving." That's it huh? Moving away. Running from your troubles." Well... lets recap a bit shall we?"I was getting mad."My kids pushed me away when I pushed Samantha away. Then, you. Jessica was also not interested in new clothes or entertainment. Like me, she was contented with a book.Soon after her mother had taken a temporary move for her new job, Jessica had gotten into a nightly routine of lying on the couch with me while we read. Usually, the radio or the CD played some music and the room was dark except for the two lamps over our heads, and Jess would squeeze herself down between me, and the back of the couch. She said it was warm and cozy to lie like that and I too. Knowing there was little time, even if she didn't know HOW she knew that, Karen quickly ran back into the hall and down to her parent's bedroom. The puppies followed."Mommy! Daddy! Wake up!"As Karen burst into their bedroom, she saw her parents were ALREADY up! They sat up in bed, eyes widening as she entered. Karen stopped at the foot of the bed, hopping up and down."Mommy! I saw Mary! She spoke to me! Said everyone had to get in the same room with Daddy, so I brought the puppies!"Daddy looked. " Why?" I just told you why." No you told me a lie, tell me the truth." That was not a lie." Why have you been hiding from me then?" Hiding? I wasn't the one, who went out of town, I'm sorry if I didn't wait around for you to come back, you have no control over my life. You're just my neighbor." And that kiss?" So, we kissed. No big deal." Right, then why did you close the door on my face and not speak to me for a week." Lord, Chase you were gone, I didn't keep tabs on when you came back, why.
