Your mom and dad shocked her into talking. They are so loving; someone like Shannon just opened up to them. We may have a new friend after all. Hope y...u like freckle faced redheads, I sure do."I took the Jeep this morning and enjoyed going downtown in the open car. When I went up to the attorney's office, I noticed several empty offices in the building and wondered why they were empty.Aunt Pauline's attorney was a nice older guy that I had met several times while she was alive. He welcomed me. ‘I guess that we’d better get to bed hadn’t we?’ Bed yes, sleep no. We talked for a while, she was whispering over and over to me, her voice soft and gentle. ‘It wasn’t your fault, you’re are a brilliant driver and when the time comes I’ll be happy to sit beside you as your navigator, I have every faith in you because I love you so very much and know that we make the best team , we are the best and if anyone says different I’ll give him such a hiding. I’m here for you my Darling, I’ll always be. She's one of my favorites, fiftyish, competent, comfortable with the job, her bantering with the Saturday morning regulars was sharp and flirty. I think she saw me as an anomaly, younger than a lot of the regulars, but not one of the occasional smart-mouthed youngsters that showed up, either. "You never showed up with anyone before. And when you do? Bang! Married!" Yeah," I said, doing my best 'Aw, shucks' act. "I found Johanna." And I found him," Jo said. "So I'm keeping him." She grinned, all. I asked the lady at the door if she would please get Venus for me? She replied, "Whom should I say is calling?" Saint Peter. I think she is expecting me."She asked me to come in while she informed Venus that I was there. I sat on one of the many love seats in the parlor."Well, look who's here. I was kind of expecting you, Peter. It is alright to just call you Peter, isn't it?" Of course. I think you know why I'm here, don't you, Venus?"'Yes, it's getting near Valentines day and you are worried.
