I felt a little bad for the person who had to sweep the theater after we left, but at least I was surrounded by grins. The two of them kicked at each other and shoved playfully all the way to the truck.

Mark dropped us off at Andy's car on campus before heading home. You could just see the stress lifted from his face. I was glad that the evening had helped. I gave him a hug and thanked him for coming with us. "Anytime," he said, then threw one more piece of popcorn, he had just found in his sweater, at Andy. Despite being more relaxed and it getting late, I was sure his family would be getting a phone call from him tonight.

Andy and I walked hand in hand to his car quickly because the wind was still bitter. He opened my door and then hurried around to get in and start up the heater. "That was fun tonight. We did a good thing," he said, leaning across the car and kissing my frozen, chapped cheek. The cocoa was still warm, so we took a few minutes to have some while the car warmed up.

"Yeah, nothing like going to the movies with a couple of boys." I tried acting annoyed, but I couldn't help smiling. He just laughed.

"You should have seen us as companions."

"I hope that your mission apartment was still standing when you were transferred."

"Mostly. Actually, we were a good team; we got a lot of work done."

"That doesn't surprise me at all. You're still are a good team."

"You and I make a really good team, too." He was looking into my eyes. I covered my mouth with my hand as a small giggle escaped. Why did I always loose it when things turned serious?

"It seems that way," I said shyly. Okay, I was feeling stupid now. I wasn't good with this feelings stuff.

"It was kind of fun cheering up Mark tonight. It was almost like being part of a family together. I bet you will make a great mom."

Okay, how had we gotten to this? I wasn't expecting a serious discussion just now, not with popcorn in my hair. Gulping, I realized that for the first time in three years I needed to explain something important. It had never seemed that important before, but
