You're just weird enough for me."Dee Dee calmed down enough to whisper "You knew!"I didn't have a clue what I knew. "Knew what?" I asked.She said "You...knew it was me!"Now what the hell was that supposed to mean? I've had some odd experiences in my life, but this one was a pip. I asked "Who else could you be?"She was sniffling. "I could have been Donnie."If they hadn't been crying I would have thought they were playing with my head. Hell, they were dressed alike, they ordered the same meal, they. ‘It’s been a long time, Tyler. How are you?’ ‘Been well, Miss King. Been mighty fine. Got myself a wife now. Three li’l chillin’s runnin’ around. You might see mah oldest boy ’round here somewhere. ‘Bout waist heigh, acts like he’s thirty.’ He looked over in the direction of Lance, who had found an old flame, as usual, and he grinned. ‘We were jest headin’ to the hoe down. Why don’tcha folks git those horses put up and join us?’ Lacey couldn’t believe it had actually been that long. Tyler was. Several times a week they all took turns going to Collin's, Mar's or Stephens for dinner, to break up the long winter evenings. When Brand came in, Bitsy reminded him about dinner and he went up to take a long hot bath.Bitsy sat on the rim of the tub, as Brand bathed, swinging her legs to and fro, grinning at Brand. Brand who was tired and half asleep, opened an eye and looked at her "what's up? brat, you've been like the cat with the cream since you came in." Bitsy giggled and motioned him. “I’m fine,” I answer.“I don’t believe you. You should go to hospital.”I waves off her suggestion. “That’s not going to happen, and you’re not going to be able to convince me so you might as well not try.”She says, “OK, I won’t but you should probably not be alone right now.” I joke, “Just admit that you want to take me home, why don’t you?”That’s when Eileen says, “I want to take you home.” She starts walking to her car and gestures me to follow. I think she makes a bit of sense since I did.
