I tried calling his phone but he didn't pick it up. I decided that I'd just drive the truck to work and call him once I got there. I could always call...him at work. He loved his job so he'd never miss a day there unless he was really sick.He'd probably stayed with a friend overnight. It might take a few days for him to get over this but we'd talk eventually. I started to get ready for work myself. I was very sad that Robbie was angry at me but I was sure he loved me enough for us to get past. Ken and another guy had a house rented, so there wasn't a problem having a place for me to stay, the only thing was, it was a two bedroom, so I would have to sleep with Ken in his bed. That was no problem as we had known each other for a long time.I drove up one week-end and started work on Monday morning at the job site near Portland. Randy, Ken's friend, was a likeable guy, so there weren't any problems living there.It was a good job and fun working with Ken again. We'd stop at a local tavern. But..." Look. On Monday I'll hand in my report. It'll be a summary of my notes, of what Tom said, of the parts of the 1975 Act that Tom cited, and a few other things. Then my boss will read it. He'll probably ask me some questions. He'll then pass my report on to the Minister with a covering letter of his own. You tell me what's next. Will it stay in the State? Will it go to the Lieutenant Governor? Will it go to Canberra? It's December. Will anything happen this year? Will my report be. " Do you need to go home tonight?" Amy and the twins, with John, were on their way back to her house."Not if I leave here early enough to call in to change before going to work. I don't want to wake you early, though." I don't mind waking early once in a while. I can always have an early night and catch up." She paused, thoughtfully, "Though of course, whether I actually caught up would depend on how much sleep I got after going to bed..." She glanced at him; seeing his expression she grinned.
