When her parents were with us she was very shy and quiet. Today I found that she has a very quick mind and a sharp sense of humor that a bit too often... was directed at herself. At the diner we kept the conversation pretty general, weather and politics and such, but during the drive home it got personal. ‘Mom says that you don’t have a girlfriend, Aaron. Why not?’ ‘Girls just never notice me, Diane. I’m kind of boring and plain so I don’t date much. Add to that the fact that I don’t really have. I noticed Robert had struck up conversation with an attractive red headed woman with a sexy body.We all took a break and sat at the table and everyone was laughing and talking at once. We continued to dance, flirt and have fun for several hours. At one point I saw mom whisper something in Robert's ear and he suddenly focused on me. I could feel his eyes looking at me with nothing but lust and desire. My mom just set back and smiled. Robert came over and asked me to dance on the next slow song.. I didn't want to kill him, just knock him down so you could take the gun away from him. The look on your face told me you were about to jump him. I figured I'd better take him down before someone got shot, even accidentally. He didn't look too steady with it." I couldn't let him take Georgette. I had to take the risk, but you saved the day, Nan. You are one amazing lady," I smiled, hugging her to me."We had family to protect, Johnny. Family comes first ... always." Yeah. Always."Bradley had. Kate and I had a lot of catching up to do before we left for our respective showings. My show was set to open in three weeks in New York. Kate’s was set for the same Friday night in San Francisco. As soon as my show was installed, Clarice would leave New York for Kate’s show. It was going to be a wild rush and I couldn’t help but wonder how this would work in the future. I had a sad feeling in the back of my gut when I thought that Kate and I might never be able to attend each other’s openings..
