Funny and strange, how various crises in life cause us to realize the error of our ways. He could not help but give her a warm smile and an equally warm chuckle when she said he had the right idea this time. Good, I am glad I am finally getting something right and doing something right for a change. ? Talking does?seem to help to relieve the soul does it not? I am glad that at least for now, you are no longer bothered by anger.

He chuckled at his soul quip as he ?stood, then extended his hand to take hers, and??offer?her a hand up. ?

The stars were out, and it was a full moon; he longed to slip his arm around her, to hold her close, to make this a slow, romantic walk home, but that would have to be her choice, and it would have to be initiated by her, he would make no sudden moves now.???
