... studying her son’s profile sitting next to her. She knew that he was expand on his comment in a moment so she held her tongue and waited.

“Mom? I’ve been thinking. Ever since I got the draft notice... That I wanted to... no, I needed to do more than make a promise to Lee. I wanted to marry her. I know we would still be apart while I was gone, but... we would be... be married. I was going to ask her at our graduation.” Tom declared quietly then went silent again.

“Have you changed your mind?” Annie asked hesitantly now a little unsure where her son’s mind was going.

“No... well... yes and no. I still want to marry her, I do. But... She told me something this morning that made me change my mind.” Tom said distractedly again.

Annie felt her stomach churn a little. Her brows knitted and she turned her head ever so slightly as if suddenly on guard. Again, she waited for Tom to continue.

Tom’s face had a puzzled expression for a moment or two but then resumed his moody pensiveness again as his thoughts returned to his predicament.
