so I consider myself fortunate.”
    “I seem to be making you uncomfortable.  Would you like me to go?”
    “If that’s what you want.  I’m not much for playing games, Lisa and I don’t understand this game you’re playing.  You’re not ready or willing to take the risk we might have something special in the making and I’m not about to give up something that I really like and am good at so that leaves us in a stalemate.”
    “Thank you for being honest, even if it was rather blunt.  I appreciate it.”  She gathered her things and said, “Good night Chuck.”  He didn’t reply.

Chapter 8
     
    The next morning, Lisa went to Post Housing to discuss moving.  She was pleased to find the government would pay for moving her household goods, and also they would pay for storage for up to a year from the date of death of her husband.  If she wanted storage beyond the year, it would be at her expense.  When she moved back to her home town, she would have about three months to find permanent housing.  She decided to have the household items stored in Clarksville until she was permanently located.
    She called her mother and dad that evening and told them she had tentatively decided to move back home.  They were very pleased and said, “We have plenty of room for you here.  It’s will be so nice with you and Kyle here.”
    “Mom, I want to get a place of my own.  We don’t want to put you out.”
    “You won’t be putting me out, there’s plenty of room.”
    “We’ll stay with you but only until we find a place.  It’s going to take me two weeks at least to get things ready to go.  I’ll let you know when I have a definite date.”

    Chuck came home from work and the movers’ van was in front of Lisa’s house.  While he watched, men carried furniture out of the house and into the van.  He knew she would need to move out, but he hadn’t thought about it recently so it came as a surprise.
    They hadn’t spoken since the night she was over for barbecue.  She walked out of the house with Kyle in tow.  She saw him and walked over toward him.  “This is it, huh?  You’re moving,” he said.
    “Yes, we’re going back home.”
    “I’m sorry you made this decision, Lisa.  I really didn’t think this was what you wanted.”
    “It wasn’t my first choice, but I finally had to make the call and this is it.  We‘ll stay in a motel tonight and get on the road early tomorrow morning.  It’s a long drive and I’d like to get there before dark.”
    “Could I take you and Kyle to dinner tonight?”
    “I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.”
    “You’re the out stubbornest one woman I have ever met.  What’s wrong with friends have dinner on their last night in the same place?”
    She laughed.  “That’s one of my dad’s phrases.  It sounds funny coming from someone else.  There’s nothing wrong with having dinner.  Can we leave Gunner in your backyard and we’ll go from here?”
    “That’s fine.  What time do you think they’ll finish up here?”
    “It will be six at least.”
    “Then why not come to my house instead of making an extra trip to the hotel and back?” 
    “We’re going to stay at IHG here on Post.  It’s no big deal.”
    “Come on, Lisa.”
    “Okay,” she said after a few moments’ hesitation.  “We’ll do that.  I packed just about everything fancy and we’d have to find a place friendly to kids.”
    “What about Olive Garden?  If that’s not okay, then Denny’s or IHOP.”
    “Either of the three will be fine.”
    “Then we can go to Olive Garden, all kids like pasta.”
    “You mean busketti?”
    “That’s it.”
    “Okay, we’ll leave as soon as you get finished over there.  I’ll drop your keys off at Post Housing tomorrow.”

    After a quiet dinner, the drive back was made in silence also.  Kyle had fallen asleep in his car carrier.  As they walked into Chuck’s house, Lisa said, “I’m afraid I wasn’t good
