like you and they weren’t human.”
         “She’s guessing,” he said.  “I look like any other human,” he added, and then smiled his half smile.
         “What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her,” I said.  “Try not to let her see your flask.  I’m sure she’ll really be curious then.”
         “I’ll keep that in mind,” he said, and laughed.
         Tony and I settled in for the evening watching the news.  All was quiet in Mayville.  Bob, news anchor, reported Detective Cooke’s passing and announced his cause of death was an apparent heart attack.  Funeral services would be announced as soon as they became available.   The phone started ringing. We both got up to answer it.  Tony got to the phone first so I sat back down on the sofa.  Hearing a noise outside, I looked out the window to see Mildred standing in the middle of the road looking toward the house.  What on earth !  Getting up, I went to the door.  Mildred saw me and started running back toward her house as fast as she could.  For her to think Tony was strange was ridiculous.
         Standing in the doorway looking toward her house, I heard Tony hanging up the phone.  “What’s going on?” he asked.
        “Nothing, who called,” I said, turning to face him.
         “Father has another shipment of equipment coming in tomorrow for the blood bank, and needs me there when it arrives.  I have to sort the boxes and make sure there in the right rooms.”
         “Sounds like you have your work cut out for you then.”
         “Come with me,” Tony said, wrapping his arms around me.  “I have something to show you at the blood bank.”
         I nodded my head yes, turning back to the front door.  I closed and locked the dead bolt before heading to bed.  Tony took care of the back door.  From helping Mildred and planting, I was exhausted.  The second my head hit the pillow, I was out.
     
     
         In the morning, Tony and I headed to Portland.  As we passed by Mildred’s, I noticed she was standing inside the front door. When she saw the car, she hurried and closed the door.  Now I knew for sure, Mildred was the strange one.
         The trip to Portland was tiring and traffic was backed up for miles.  A semi had jack-knifed in the middle of the road. Traffic was being diverted to the off ramp and detoured to the next highway.  Instead of a two hour trip, it was three.  Tony took the opportunity to mention, me becoming his wife.  He smiled his half smile and asked, “Now that you’re going to be my wife, I would like to know when?”
         “I really hadn’t thought about it,” I said, looking at the passing scenery.
         “I think since spring is here, we should start planning, don’t you?”
         “Are you in a rush to marry me?”
         “I just want you to be my wife and the sooner the better.”
         “I’m not going anywhere.  I will always be the only one for you.  You know that.”
         “Yes, I do, but I want to be able to call you my wife instead of my finance.”
         “Did you have a date in mind?” I asked.        
         “I’ll leave that up to you,” he said, reaching for my hand and glancing at my ring.  “I guess I’ll have to get you a wedding band.”
         “I don’t need one.  This ring is the only ring I need,” I said.
          Tony parked in front of the blood bank, leaned towards me and kissed me.  I hugged him and started kissing his neck.  He moaned and whispered, “You need to wait until we’re home.”
         “I miss ed you last night.”
         “So did I, but right now we need to go inside.” 
         I smiled the biggest smile because we were going to be married.  I didn’t have a clue when, but I knew it was going to be soon.  He was my Tony and I loved him with all my heart.  “I love you,” I said, before we got out of the car.
        “I love
