Seven years, Jenny. It’s been seven years since I last saw you, and tomorrow I am leaving to go to New York. That’s why I could not wait until tomorrow or next week to take you on a proper date. It had to be tonight.”
“When will you be back?” She did not want to sound desperate.
“I’m not. Well, not for a while.” She smiled, trying not to look sad. What did she expect anyway? She said, “Wow. New York. What are you going to do there?”
“I applied for this job on a fishing boat in Alaska. I’ve always wanted to go on a big adventure, and this adventure pays well. I’d be set up when I get back.”
“That sounds so exciting. Why New York, and not straight to Alaska?” “I found this company on-line and there’s a group of us, so we’re meeting there first. The company will be paying for our accommodation and our flights from New York to Alaska. I only have to pay to get from here to New York.”
