leaving
It was almost completely dark. Nick was very concerned about me and
wanted me to aleast stay the night. I thought about it, but the rain
had stoped and I figured I had given him enough trouble. He tried to
convice me to aleast stay for another cup of tea, but my mind was made
up. The sun had taken away some of my worries. I figure if I was going
to leave it would have to be soon. Nick certainly woul'nt let me go on
alone, so I would have to leave when he wasn't looking. Later in the
evening, I asked him for a drink of water, hoping that would give me
time to escape. I felt really bad about doing this to him. He was so
kind and this was my way of thanking him. As I stepped out the
doorway, I looked back, hoping that we would see each other
again.
