Chapter Forty-Four

"where did you go this morning?" Sidney asked coming down in the basement where I was watching some soap opera.
"I'm sorry."
"Why did you leave?"
"I panicked and I was scared."
"Of what?"
"I want to be with you.. believe me, I do. Its just the things you said last night I mean I have dreamt of you saying them but its scary to actually hear them."
"Don't you think it was scary waking up this morning and not having you there.. I didn't know where you were or what happened.. I don't ever want to have that feeling again."
"I just don't want this to go too fast. I want it to be right."
"How could it ever be wrong?" He asked.
"You know what I mean. I just I don't know."
"Jo, I won't leave you. But you can't leave me like you did this morning."
"I know.." I said.
