“Dennis, are you sure you can’t fill me in a little about my grandpa’s experience in Chenogne? I looked it up last night but didn’t find much on the Internet—just that there was fighting there and that it was near Bastogne.”

“Ava, when are you just going to let this drop?” He let out a low sigh, and he leaned forward, looking into her eyes.

“Well”—she closed her menu—“maybe it’s because you seem to know a lot about all this World War II stuff. I mean you knew something about…the girl.” She whispered the last two words. “It’s obvious you’ve taken time to learn about your grandfather’s experiences. You’re doing better than I am.”

“Aren’t you going to try to earn your grandfather’s trust?” It was the same thing Dennis had said before, but this time his voice was gentle, as if he was speaking to a child. If this was him acting nice, she didn’t like it much.

“And what if he never brings it up?” Her voice squeaked, and a couple at the other table looked at her, curious. She pressed her lips together and ignored them, placing her red-and-white checkered cloth napkin on her lap. This was too important to try to act nice about.

The waitress approached, and Dennis ordered ham and eggs. Ava ordered the same, just so she didn’t have to think about it.

“You didn’t answer my question,” she said after the waitress left.

“Maybe I don’t want to.”

“Why not?”

“Well, I had a different reason earlier, but I have a new one now.”

She tapped her fork on the table. “And what’s that?”

“I don’t want to tell you because it makes you mad…and you’re beautiful when you’re angry.”

Ava opened her mouth, but no words came out. Her heart pounded in her chest. She smoothed her hands on the napkin on her lap. “Should I say thank you?”
