Dad had made a trip earlier and picked out a house.When we arrived, I started exploring the house. Soon I heard him outside. It sounded like he was ...chatting with neighbors. So I went out.There were Morgan and Elaine, holding 2 cute baby girls. They saw me and grinned, sheepishly. I guess I had a questioning look on my face. I'm fast at math. Anyway, they gave me almost imperceptible nods. "Oh, shit!" I said under my breath.Of course, my dad was looking very clueless. "Am I missing. We always hug at least twice every time she comes in. This distance thing never entered our communication. I asked her one day if she was uncomfortable with that and her response was, “It’s bullshit, let’s just show them we don’t care." Slightly taken aback I said, “Well great. I’ll bring some wine out to the parking lot when I go to lunch in ten minutes, red or white?”“It’s only eleven AM, white is appropriate."“Done!"Her SUV was parked at the far end of the parking lot when I walked out of. “Being a bum!” she laughed. “I’ll spend time with my cousin, my dad, and his family, and take in some Pirates games. I’ll come see you again in a few weeks, if that’s OK.”“It’s always OK! What about meeting the parents?”“Why don’t you plan to come to Pittsburgh over Labor Day weekend?

"I've seen you go for a whole day without visiting the bathroom." "But...," I tried to say. "SHHH! The subject is closed. I'll be back at five. Bye."She turned and left, against my hushed protests. I sat in panic and tried to think out my situation. I tried to think of.
