"We should be back by three this afternoon. Could you and Trish make sure everyone has directions?" Don't worry," she said. "We'll take care of everyt...ing."Michael and I said goodbye and we took the Jag. I left the Expedition for Tamara in case she needed to use it to pick up anything. As we drove to George's office, I wanted to ask Michael about the last two nights but I figured if he wanted to talk about it, he'd bring it up.I made a phone call to the club to verify that I had two tee times. I actually clapped with happiness and said “So you married!!! Ah that is wonderful.”Nodding, Mr. Reynolds said “We did and she gave me the best 35 years any man could ever ask for.”Realizing that his wife had passed away I simply sat there for a moment and said “You know, none of us a guaranteed a time... we simply have to make the most of what we have. It sounds like you both did. I wish I could have met her.”“You know, you sound just like her. She got sick and it all happened fast. That was. I awoke a couple of times before giving up and 6:30. I went quietly to the kitchen above Wilson's head. If he could sleep he deserved it. He had actually done physical labor for two weeks. He mostly ran the sluice but that was still more demanding than anything he usually did. I made coffee in the one cup maker then sat for a few moments at the kitchen table getting my head out of my ass, before I began my pedal to the airstrip.Since Wilson never showed, I rightly assumed that he was having no. How about you?". They looked directly at me."Sure ... umm ... I guess." Then it's settled," Sunny smiled and looked at me again. Did she just wink?With the awkwardness, at least for now, out of the way, we went back to talking and sitting around the campfire enjoying the warmth and learning a bit more about each other. The girls were all from different suburbs of Boston but were now roommates in a small apartment that none could afford without a little subsidy from Madeline's family. They all.
