And that was the crux of the matter, wasn’t it? What was I going to do about Kevin? Where did he fit in my life? Abruptly I sat up and put my arms around my knees. “I don’t know—”

“You don’t know that you can do it, I know.”

“You must be tired of hearing that.”

“Frankly, yes. But I keep telling myself that—”

“That it’s early days with us, and that I’ll change.”

Kevin scooted closer to me so that our thighs touched and he could grasp my shoulder. “Come to my house next weekend,” he said, not so softly this time. “We can’t keep meeting everywhere except where we live. What’s next, San Antonio? Going back to Houston?

Flying to the moon?”

I quirked a sad, discouraged smile. “There aren’t any beds on the moon.”

“But there is one at my house.”

“Kevin, I want to. I really do. But my job, and now the play….”

He released me, not cruelly and not impatiently. “Think about it, okay? Don’t say no just yet.”

“All right. All right, I’ll think about it.”

“We can be careful for you. I’ve permanently cleaned out the second spot in my garage so you can park there right alongside my truck, and I won’t have to put that outside. Nobody needs to know you’re there. I want you there.”

He was really pushing now, in a way I suddenly realized that he hadn’t pushed when I’d been telling him about my family. He hadn’t asked about what I wouldn’t talk about, but the issue of spending time at Kevin’s house, maybe even staying overnight there, was a huge stumbling block between us, and it really mattered to him. If I couldn’t say yes….

“I’ve been wondering if you’d like to spend Thanksgiving together,” I said quickly, the words tumbling out of my mouth. “At Big Bend. You like that, don’t you? We could hike and maybe camp out. It should be warm enough. It’d be a long drive, but we could get there by midnight if we left right after work. All day Thursday and Friday and Saturday at the park, and then drive home on Sunday.”
