A/N: Hey all! I'm back! I haven't had much time to write, so these next couple of chapters/pages are going to be kinda short. Sorry for the wait. I must admit that these will be pretty boring. I hope to get more of it written this summer and HOPEFULLY it will get interesting again. Well, it should. Thanks for reading!!
"Hello darling. Hello Tom." He said tilting his hat before taking it off, "Is dinner ready?"
"As a matter of fact, it is." Edith said as she placed the last pot on the table then sitting herself. Seeing we were ready to eat, Paul turned to me.
"Tom? Would you do the honors of saying Grace for us?" I blushed, the last and first time I said Grace was when I was eight.
"If you don't mind," I cleared my throat, "It has been a while since I've done it." I smiled a sheepish grin at them.
"Well, don't pressure the poor girl," Edith to the rescue. We held hands and Paul led us in prayer. Afterwards we ate in silence for a while, until Edith broke it.
"Paul? Did you call Luke?" my eyes shifted to Paul.
"Yeah. He said he'd be here no later then 9:30. He knows much more about cars then I do, Tom. He'll have that car running in no time." I smiled.
"That's great!" I exclaimed.
"So where were you headed before your car broke down exactly?" I finished chewing then replied to Paul who hadn't heard the story earlier.
"I'm goin' to New York."
"And your parents allow you to travel on your own?"
"The truth is my parents both just died. So I'm travelin' to meet up with my friend to look at colleges and possibly stay with her for a while." Well my parents' death was the truth.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." The elderly woman placed her hand atop mine. I smiled. What else was I to do?
"No, it's alright." She tapped my hand reassuringly then went on with her dinner as did I.
Immediately after dinner I said good night to the couple and gladly jumped into the warm bed they had loaned me. That night I slept peacefully and nightmare free.
