"Clara was just trying to explain to me about how mad you were going to be at her when I tell mom and dad that you've been messing around with Bill be...ind everybody's back." The look that Kate shot at Clara was like my mom and Aunt Agnes sent our way when they were really upset with us for something. I'd never seen that look from Kate before. Bill took his hand off of Kate's shoulder and started to walk away from all of us. "Get your big ass back here Bill. You've got some explaining to do too.. When Tom brought the food he slid in the booth right next to me I was surprised, I thought he would sit on the other side of the table and I’m sure my cheeks redden. But he started chatting about how nice the weather was and how he was looking forward to getting home early today that it’s soon just seemed okay. We talked about all sorts of things during my lunch break and eventually the conversation turn to why he was divorced. He told me about the silly fights they had and things that he did. "Yeah. I'm going to stay with your mother for a while. I know a place up near Idyllwild that looks good. Not that far from El Cajon. Rick's trailer is plenty big enough for me. I still don't feel right about taking this in trade for a dollar, Rick." My being here caused you to lose your home. It's the least I can do for someone who had my back when it counted. I'll be down to see you now and then." What about you, Sally?" he asked."I won't forget about you, Uncle Hurley. Maybe I'll hitch a ride. If that's bad, I can't imagine what good might be. You really care a lot about Jenny don't you?" Mom, I want to be with her all the time. The letter that I received made me feel great. It's nice to know that she finally knows that I want to be with her. What's better is that she seems to want to be with me. I couldn't be any happier." Just give her some time Mark. She must have felt quite lonely to try to kill herself. Don't push her in how you feel." Right now, I would be happy just to be able.
