I let a few hours pass until I decide to go back up to the house.
My goal is to be quiet, but that fails due to the door creaking loudly.
A door opens upstairs and Norman comes jogging down, coming toward me with open arms. He tries to give me a hug but I turn away, walking off toward the kitchen.
As quick as I can pull out a chair he's pushing it back in. "Jolene, please don't do this to me. I can't stand you being upset with me."
"I'm not upset with you I just don't understand why you would lie." "I didn't lie! I am better. I may not be healed but I'm so much better. I'm so much better because of you."
He grabs my chin and turns my head to look at him.
"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me." He gazes at me. Tears fill my eyes and I look down, grabbing his hand and bringing it up to my mouth. "No, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. If I didn't have you I don't know where I'd be."
He smiles as he leans forward and kisses my forehead. "Lets go watch the television to take our mind off of things." He stands up, holding his hand out.
I follow him into the living room and sit on the couch as he turns the knob to pick up a channel. It lands on the news and he comes over, sitting next to me. I lay my head on his shoulder as the morning news comes on.
'Breaking news. Owner of Foxworth Real Estate, Robert Foxworth and wife Sylvia have issued a missing persons report for their son Richard Foxworth and his fiancé Jolene Peterson.'
"It's not like Richard to just disappear. We went and dug all through the house and noticed some of both of their clothes missing and other things. Son, if you're watching this, please atleast just call us to let us know you're ok."
'We'll have more on that this evening.'
I look at Norman with wide eyes and vomit my feelings up once more, except this time it's on his lap.
