After a busy week at work, the next weekend came and went. Hazel had called her mother and she seemed to be doing fine. Hazel was able to relax and get to know some of Ruth and the bishop’s visitors.

Chapter 10

The next Monday night, Isaac was driving Mary Lou home from their dinner.

“It’s been a couple of weeks, so don’t you think it’s time we talked about the wedding?”

“I’m sure I said we’d talk about it in a few weeks time.”

“Weeks, months, what’s the difference?”

He chuckled, “There’s a lot of difference between weeks and months. I told you I need time and I did say months.” He emphasized the word ‘months.’ He didn’t want to hurt her, but he needed time to prepare himself mentally to spend the rest of his life with another person.

“There’s a lot of preparation that goes into a wedding, so I think I need to talk about it sooner rather than later.”

“I hear what you’re saying. We just need to have this conversation in a few weeks. Besides, I haven’t asked you to marry me yet, so we shouldn’t be discussing the subject at all.”

She turned to him and her eyes grew wide. He knew he had made a mistake as soon as the words had carelessly tumbled out of his mouth.

“What exactly are you saying? Haven’t we decided on each other?”

He had to be truthful. Otherwise, the woman would soon be running every aspect of his life. He had enough of having no power at work; surely in his personal life he was allowed some freedom of choice. “I don’t want the future moment to be ruined by you forcing things on me when I’m not ready.”

“Is this what you’re saying to me—that you’re not sure about me?”

That was the question he was not ready to answer, but now that question was staring him boldly in the face. Where was that special feeling he’d had with that girl from years ago? He’d fallen in to the habit of dating Mary Lou, without giving it too much thought, but now she and everyone else expected them to marry. Either he waited until he found that same feeling with someone, or he did the sensible and expected thing, and went ahead with the marriage to Mary Lou.

“I’m waiting for an answer.” Her tone was calm and quiet.

He desperately scrambled for a few more seconds of thinking time. “What is the question?”

“Are you hesitating because you’re not sure about me?”

“I’m sure that you’re a lovely person and any man would want to marry you.”

“We’re not talking about any man, we’re talking about you.”

He shook his head. “If I’m truthful, I have to say that I’m just not sure; at the same time, I don’t want to let you go.”

Her mouth fell open in shock and tears came to her eyes. “Well, it looks like I’ll have to make that decision for you.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it?”

She was ending things with him. “Don’t rush into anything in anger.
