Chapter 42 – Dale

The rest of the week went relatively fast. Thursday, we had our weekly play date at Kelly's house due to rain but were unable to stay for pizza. The day was especially sad because Joan was called in regarding the shooting of an officer and couldn't get to the courthouse thanks to the rain flooding the access bridge. Thus, instead of pizza night, Joan called in her assistant and turned her living room into command central for all things PR.

Thankfully, Joan was able to handle the damage control surrounding the shooting and when Kelly called me later that night, she advised me that the officer’s doctors were able to remove the bullet from the officer's heart. The best news of all was that they expected her to make a full recovery.

Friday night during our scheduled call we decided that Kelly and the girls would meet me at my parents' cottage for breakfast before her community Medicare meeting. I was so excited about introducing Kelly to them that I barely remembered to run this by my mom earlier in the week, and she was giddy, yes giddy, over the prospect of a new love in my life.

Kelly's community meeting was scheduled for 11:00 am, so we decided to arrange the meeting with my parents at 9:00 am, which would give her some time to get to know them without feeling overwhelmed by a long visit. What surprised me most was that the person she hit it off first with, was my father.

Because Kelly's mom, Joan, had worked in the JAG offices when in the Air Force, Kelly had grown up around lawyers. Her unique understanding of a lawyer’s style of communication, gave her an insight into my father’s personality and made my normally quiet father and Kelly fast friends. Within minutes they quickly became absorbed in their own conversation, leaving my mother and I to look on with shock as they chatted away like old friends.

I don’t think I could remember a time when my father was ever chatty, especially around strangers. It used to drive Maggie crazy that he would "refuse" to carry on a conversation with her. But my father only had a handful of people outside of the courtroom that he would speak to conversationally.

That's why it was so unbelievable that Kelly and my Dad had been speaking for 20 minutes straight. After the first three minutes, my mother even looked at me and mouthed, "What the hell?"

My mother and I attempted to join the conversation a few times, but when we went to interrupt them around minute 15, they switched their conversation to a jury duty stint Kelly had taken part in, and we gave up.

Since the kids were busy watching a cartoon in the living area and Mandy was testing out those invisible magic markers that only draw on special paper, Mom and I decided to sneak into the kitchen and touch base.

"What do you think of Kelly?" I asked nervously.

"Though I haven't
