Yesterday Susan got energetic and tried to pull me in. We were in my living room early in the afternoon planning our day. "Come on," she urged. So I tried to work up some enthusiasm. "Tonight we should do something," she said as I rose to my feet slowly from the couch. "Something fun."
"Okay."
She threw her arms around me. I grinned. She waited.
"We could go to a movie in Battleford," I offered.
"No," she said in mock disgust. "Not that."
"Umm," I began, with limited inspiration, "I dunno. Whadda you wanna do?"
"I dunno."
"We could invite some people over."
"I wanna do something, just me and you," she insisted.
"Alright. Like what?"
She looked at me impatiently, then sat down on my couch. I stood, watching her exhilaration settle.
"I don't know, Susan."
She sighed. I felt guilty somehow.
