I blurted, ‘Oh! Hi! I’m so glad to see you again! How have you been?’ ‘Fine. Bruce is taking good care of me, just like a big brother is supp...sed to. Keeping me away from you. Have you had lunch? I’m buying.’ We chose to eat in the main cafeteria near the center of campus. The freaks never ate there, so we had some privacy. We chatted like magpies and laughed until we choked. Then our gaze locked and our smiles melted. ‘Heather… I don’t fully understand what happened, but I don’t think it. What would you think about us starting a family?”Tyler hesitated a minute before answering, “I’ve been thinking along similar lines, but didn’t want to say anything that might make you feel that I was in a hurry. I remember your “dream job” as being a wife and mother, and I want to give that role to you, but I also need to know that it is at a time of your own choosing. You’re the one with choices to make relative to career. I’ll fully support whatever you want to do.”“You would have career. But now he just likes the going away part.”Pilar, “Not coming home.?”“Nope. And it eats away at him. Gives him a bad case of the guilts.”Pilar, “It should.”Vanessa said, “Should it, honey?”“Shouldn’t it?”I said, “Here’s the deal. Eddie didn’t go out and have an affair. Velma didn’t either. But, over time, Eddie grew to the point where he simply no longer liked his wife. Still loved her, but didn’t like hanging out with her any more.”Vanessa and I cleaned up. Cleared the table, did the dishes.. He made sure to keep a close eye on the door to the restroom, and just as he was finishing, the door opened back up, with Nicole stepping out. She walked to the side of the store and got a couple bottles of water, which she then went to the clerk to pay for. She gave him an eyeful as she searched through her purse for some money. As she gave him the money, she looked back out at Matt, who saw that he was watching. She then completely shocked Matt and unzipped her jacket while she was still in.
