Aurora 08 - Poppy Done to Death
“I’d seen about half the people I knew dashing frantically through the grocery store, and all of them looked as scatterbrained as I felt, but I hadn’t been so frantic that I’d forgotten to buy some snack stuff.
I told Phillip he was going to help me cook, and he stared longingly at the television before he agreed.
“How was your lunch with Robin?” I asked.
“We had ham sandwiches,” Phillip said, which was not exactly the information I was after.
“He’s pretty cool,” Phillip added almost grudgingly ...after I’d put away the contents of one bag.
“We had a long talk about stuff. The only dumb thing about him is his name.”
“I’m glad you two are getting along,” I said. I was very curious to hear Robin’s account of their conversation.
“You gonna marry him?”
It would be beyond coy to pretend I’d never thought of it. “If he asks me, I’ll think about it,” I said.
“You could ask him.”
Hmmm. “No,” I said. “I just don’t think I could do that.” Though I was a raving liberal compared to 50 percent of the people I knew in Lawrenceton, I knew asking Robin to marry me was way beyond my possibility level, even though I was now an Uppity Woman.MoreLess
