"You've had enough food to last you for a week, you stupid dog."I heard Mom say, "Why don't you get yourself a bowl of ice cream and the two of you ca... share it."I turned around to see her walk into the kitchen, followed by Jack."Oh, I COULDN'T EAT ANOTHER THING." Both Jack and his mother said it along with me.Jack added, "Yeah, right."I decided that subject had been exhausted. "Have you heard anything about Charlie?"June said, "No."Damn. Simple and abrupt. I felt like I should ask something,. I ask you again; Are you finished cleaning yet?"I thought for a quick moment and nodded my head,"I have gotten this room as clean as I know how."Trefual quickly went through the room checking the closet and each dresser and desk drawer. He even checked the top corners of the closet. He went back to sitting on my desk and just stared at me. I began feeling a little apprehensive as the stare continued. He finally broke the silence. "It's not the best I've ever seen but it will do. For now on,. I wasn't sure how the night would play out but we met for dinner and caught up on life and just about everything else. We'd ordered a bottle of wine with dinner and we'd had one or two cocktails before we sat down to eat also. Neither of us was editing ourselves during the conversation.My sister said, "You must be tired from traveling and flying in today. I should let you get some sleep." I'm fine," I said. "I mean I'm okay if we leave here. Do you want to come hang at my hotel?" OK," she. Oddly enough, this time the nerves were different. They weren't as strong certainly, but there was also a sense of anticipation this time. A tingling was present throughout my body that represented not only nerves, but also sheer excitement. The sounds from the room were getting louder as the students were chatting and joking. So far I hadn't seen anyone that I recognized, thank goodness.As I stood up, watching the last of the stragglers come through the door on the other side of the large open.
