The corners of her mouth turned up into one of her infectious smiles, "I would love that!" A look of sudden concern came over her features. "Is the movie something I can take Kevin to?"

"Yes it's animated and rated PG. Nothing bad in it that I know of. The reviews say it's pretty funny for kids and adults."

Her face crinkled up in surprise, "You watch animated kid movies?"

Somewhat defensively I responded, "Sure, why not?"

She shook her head and looked like she was holding in laughter. She hugged me, "Will I ever understand you Tyre?"

In some ways I hoped not.

It was a very good evening. It was so nice to share something that I enjoyed with someone else. Anna had seemed to just enjoy being with me, which was hard for me to comprehend even yet. Kevin had seemed content and had been utterly engrossed with the movie.

It had kind of felt like a family outing in some ways. I had never hoped for so much. It was late when I left Anna's apartment for mine. Tomorrow I wouldn't be leaving. Tomorrow Anna would be mine for forever.
