I'd mentioned my desire to marry Denny(again). Her mother (Marie) looked at me and shook her head. "Dennis"she said "She's my daughter, and I love her... But I have to say this. Idon't think that she's overly .. eh .. interested in boys. Never hasbeen. I know she likes you as a friend, but in 'that' way... well..?" "Mrs. Foster," I said sincerely. "I know all that. Honestly. I know andit doesn't matter! I love Denny. I want to be with her all the time. Iwant to marry her. Will you please help. " That seemed to give her a shot of confidence, and I realized how big a chance a she was taking in trusting me - a woman alone with a disabled child, out on a boat, away from people.She smiled when I asked her to invite her dad. "Ohhhh. He'll like that. He used to have a couple boats but had to get rid of them when he and my mother started to get sick. We'll be right back," and she wheeled Jennifer in the direction of the restaurant.I kicked the engines on and let them idle while Sherrie took. He stood there, waiting. It was at least five minutes before anyone answered, but, finally Anthony opened the door with a very unamused expression."What?" He mumbled, his voice quick and unenthusiastic."Anthony, are you busy? I need to talk to you about something. I know it's been a while since we've really hung out or done anything like that, but I'm trying to deal with something personal. It involves Sarah..." He replied, the last sentence much more hushed than the others.Anthony sighed, as. They moved away from the landing zone as quickly as possible because the noise of the choppers was certain to draw attention from the surrounding countryside. It would be better if they were safely away and settled in for the night in a defensive perimeter just in case any large force of opposition was in the area and ready to confront them. He felt a lot better now that he had the reinforcements but it would be a lot safer if they took care of the evading force once and for all. Major Mike.
