Mr. Scrooby says, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
[ PRIVATE LOCKED ]
It just sort of came out. I didn't mean to suddenly confess or anything; I just spit it out. We were just sitting there, having watermelon and coffee with Carol and the Baron, and I felt this pull in my gut. So I told her I was scared of messing it up; worried about making some mistake and having her just up and leave.
I know people leave. It is a constant in my life and I think it will always be one. Hell, the amount of people that vanished last year alone. Trudie, Vivi, and Scottie. Hell, Shelley and Byron disappeared for a while, too. Bill left at the end of the year; Dora is staying away from college because she's pregnant. There's been others.
I know they aren't to blame. Doesn't mean it doesn't hit home pretty hard.
But she says she won't leave, and I believe her. I really do. We even talked about how if we have an "accident", we'd both want to keep it. Not exactly the most romantic concept, but it's something.
I think a lot of people came back this year very high-strung. It's gonna be a bumpy ride. But she told me she thinks it's going to be a good year. I believe her.
