This afternoon's trip seemed to be especially crowded and she had the misfortune of sitting next to a guy who had obviously forgotten his morning show...r… for the last few days!The trip home probably wouldn't have been so annoying had it not been for the trying week she'd just been through at work.She'd pretty much gotten used to riding the bus, but this week her boss had been ragging on her about getting the annual reports ready and sent off to the corporate headquarters.She hated this time of. ”“Thank you, sergeant. Unless something drastic happens, I’m quite certain we’ll be home by seven.” I turned to Harry and Betty. “Ready to go car shopping?”Once we were in the truck and safely away, Harry looked over at me. “Okay, how the hell did Walter Baker manage to miss you with his .45?”“He didn’t. The first shot was aimed at Betty. I grabbed it from the air before it could hit and kill her. The second was aimed directly at me. I grabbed it as well, before it could hit me. That might have. Is this clear?” I nod my head; for the moment I still have my loving partner, but she will be gone in the morning. I cuddle up in her arms for now, waiting for 3am when I have to move.I move to the bottom of the bed, where it’s cold and lonely without Donna’s arms around me. Donna sleeps on oblivious. But I daren’t be at her side in the morning.I get up at 10am and prepare her breakfast. I walk into the bedroom at 10.30am. I wake her up for breakfast, she smiles and says, “You are a good. When I suggested we do a round of goodbyes, Laura was more than happy. She jumped down and about fifteen minutes later we were at the front door with our six new close friends.“You know, said Tina, “when a man wants to show who’s most special to him, he will give her a piggyback.”Luke pushed her from behind and I thought she was going to go flying, so went to catch her.“See? Someone cares about me.”Luke raised his eyebrows and crooked his finger, Tina took a step and jumped up putting her arms.
