We sat down on the sofa. “Well, thank goodness you have stopped calling it love,” Ginny said, smiling while she endearingly snaked her small hand into mine. “But, don’t you know… I’ve had a crush on you for the longest time? Way back when you used to come over to the house to see dad, you were the only grown up who actually talked to me as if I were a real person, listening to what I had to say. My parents have never even done that.”
