     “But, how...”                     
     “I'll tell you tonight, after you 
tell me everything, but wait a minute,”
she said, “You never did answer my     
question. Are they going to be here    
Friday or not?”                        
     “They said they would,” I told    
her.                                   
     “I'm coming along, whether you    
want me to or not,” she said and grab- 
bed my coat. She wrapped it over my    
shoulders, grabbed one of my arms, and 
struggled to put it into a sleeve.     
     “I don’t ever remember saying you 
couldn’t,” I said, while trying to     
fight her off with one hand, and eating
with the other.                        
     “The more people, the better. You 
know that,” I added, but then yelled   
“Hey!” as she pulled a knit cap over my
head, and then over my eyes.           
     “Oops,” she giggled, and while    
pulling me somewhere, asked, “Did you  
tell ‘em that at your last meeting? The
one you went to on Sunday?”            
     I started to say, “I did...” but  
didn’t get too far, because that’s when
she shoved me, and then I heard a door 
slam behind me.                        
     What the fuck, I thought, pulled  
the hat off and looked around.         
     I was freakin’ outside!           
     I opened the door, and she was    
still standing there.                  
     I was about to ask her what the   
fuck, when she wrapped her arms around 
my neck and gave me one hell of a kiss.
     After a whole minute, she pushed  
me away a little and said in a breath- 
less voice, “We should get married.”   
     “What?!” I said, almost choking   
for real. “I'm leaving for work, and   
you bring this up now?”                
     She shrugged and smiled that      
crooked little smile of hers, “It just 
seemed like the most appropriate time,”
she said, and then frowned.            
     “Why? Don't you want to marry me?”
     I kissed her again, and then said,
“I don't know of a better way to spend 
the rest of my life, but let's talk    
about that later, please.”             
     “Tonight,” was her answer.        
     “Tonight,” I echoed, and then she 
pushed me out the door again, and      
slammed it in my face, again.
