The Path of the Wind Page #4

Just make yourself

at home.

I'll be right down.

Okay.

Okay, I'm ready.

I meant to tell you,

you look really pretty.

Oh, thank you.

Can I just get something

out of the way here?

What's that?

I am really nervous.

I have not been on a

date in a long time.

You're nervous?

My heart is about ready to jump

out of my chest, I'm so nervous.

Oh, good, I feel

a little better.

So, did you ever get

to watch those movies?

Oh, yeah, I got to be honest with

you, I don't have a DVD player.

As a matter of fact

I don't even have a TV.

Then, why did you even...

You know what?

We should probably go.

Okay.

So, here we are.

Your house?

Trust me the food

is amazing.

I don't know, Lee.

What? It's not quite

what you had in mind?

Not really.

I thought that my romantic side

would impress you

not frighten you.

Well, maybe, we could just go

somewhere a little more public.

Can you hold on one minute?

I'll be right back.

We won't be alone.

This was an

unbelievable meal.

What are you

talking about?

You didn't even

touch yours.

Oh, no, I've had plenty.

It was delicious.

You're full

of surprises, huh?

How so?

You didn't strike me as the

cooking, classical music lover.

So, tell me about yourself.

There's not really

much to tell.

I was born and raised here.

And I lost my mom in a car

accident when I was eight.

I was raised by my

maternal grandfather.

What about your dad?

I didn't know him.

He never married my mom.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm not.

He couldn't have been half

the man my grandfather was.

He was a fighter pilot

in World War Two.

That man was my hero.

That explains your misguided

belief about John Wayne.

Yes, it does.

Favorite place in the world?

Niagara Falls.

I used to go up there every

year with my grandfather.

What do you like to do?

I read a lot,

mostly history.

It's what I went

to school for.

Where'd you go?

Stanford.

Did you graduate?

With a Master's degree.

And you work

in a grocery store?

Yeah.

It's a long story.

I'd like to hear it.

Someday.

So, where you from?

I'm from Pittsburgh.

Vince is from Cleveland.

And when we divorced

I moved out here.

And how did you

end up married to Vince?

Also a long story

for another time.

Fair enough.

That piece they're playing,

it's a waltz, isn't it?

You have a good ear.

I studied dance

when I was a kid.

I love waltzes.

Do you still remember how?

I haven't in years.

Vince would never dance with

me, not even at weddings.

May I have this dance?

Right now?

Right now.

I'd feel funny.

I wouldn't.

Well, look at this.

Madame.

Thank you.

So, I feel like I owe you

a little bit of an apology.

What for?

My dancing abilities.
