During the drive back to Maggie’s, Susan allowed her imagination and fears to slowly take control. When she failed to pay attention to the conversation in the limo, she attributed it to her physical state. “I’m just tired. I just need some sleep.”

As they entered the house, Paul asked, “Susan, is something wrong?”

“It’s…nothing.” Tears threatened. Susan looked up at him. “How do you do this? Go to these parties and pretend to be just another hanger-on.”

“I know this is business for them. When the lights and crowd are gone, I know what I have. That’s all I need.”

“That’s fine, but I don’t know what she wants.”

“I’ve not known Maggie very long, but I know that you’re important to her. In the four years since I met her, you’re the first person she has spent any time with and who’s actually met her family. I also know that she often doesn’t know what she wants and sometimes gets caught up in her own P.R. Then her insecurities take control. When that happens, she just has difficulty letting people know that she cares.” Paul gave her a brief hug and went to his room.

Susan quietly walked with her mother. When they reached Maureen’s room, Susan stopped.

“Do you want to talk?” Maureen asked.

Susan had always appreciated her mother’s concern. This time she wasn’t sure if talking to her mother would help. “I’m fine, Mom. Just tired.”

“Maggie loves you. I have no doubt about that.”

“How can you be so sure?”

Her mother had no trouble answering, “Honey, all you have to do is see how she looks at you to know how she feels. And when I see the two of you together, I know it will work. Be patient. True love is worth it.”

“I didn’t know you were such a romantic.”

“Talk to her, Susan.” Maureen brushed the hair on Susan’s forehead. “If we’re lucky, we’ll have one great love in our lives. Someone who will make us feel weak in the knees and laugh with us. And if we’re blessed with that kind of love, we may have to work to keep it.”

Susan stared at her mom. She kissed her cheek, said good night, then stumbled into bed. As she closed her eyes, she acknowledged that Maggie did make her feel weak in the knees and totally out of control. One question nagged her as she fell asleep: Why can’t she tell me if she loves me?
