Yes, you would think that after two years, I would be over you, but I’m not. I still can’t get you out of my mind. I deserve a reason and you dese...rve to know that I still love you. That’s why I came.” Miranda uncrossed her legs and sighed. She looked at me and said, “Brandon, how can you still love me? How can you let two years go by and not even try to talk to me?” “I could ask the same of you,” I said. “Okay, you want a reason? I’ll give you a reason. It was me. I was tired. I was scared. I was not sure about it all, yet, Tim and I were talking again. He told me that he loved the country, he loved the small break in Nha Trang, he loved the time that we spend together but most of all, he loved me! That was so sweet for him to say that. I couldn't say it back though.Instead of that, I told him that I was unsure if he could take care of me.He explained about his job, that he has a good and steady job and that he certainly could offer me the stability that every woman is looking. After I talk to Dr. Angell, I will have our senators on the phone. Let's not bother your mother with any of this tonight. She is so happy to see you and you can tell that her memory isn't good. I assure you I will set a fire under our senior senator." He left and was gone fifteen minutes."It took Mother and Brooke some time to return to the table. Will and I talked about school as we waited for them to return.When everyone had returned to the table, Grandfather said, "I hope everyone can stay. I couldn’t help but notice a very pretty older woman , well dressed fantastic figure , alone crying , so me being me , wandered over to see if she was ok, needed any help, she looked and sounded upon approaching her , as if she was in distress and either vert drunk or taken something , so I stayed and chatted a while trying to get sense out of her, where she needed to go to get home , and said I would get in the taxi with her to make sure she was safe, as she looked vulnerable, and not fully.
