I tell @WinnieTrainor, I'll figure something out. We'll set a date and go to Billie Bear Lodge. Hugh is getting closer. I leave quickly.

I see another figure exiting the Trainor household, It's Hugh. I have to leave before we make a scene.

Me: 'I'll go back to the Park and then decide what to do.' Winnie gasps. I can see her life come crashing down.

I keep on walking and say to Winnie, 'I'm never coming back to Huntsville, that's one thing for sure!'

Winnie: 'Tom, what are we going to do?'

I walk a few paces down the street. The screen door bursts open and @WinnieTrainor pursues me, briskly walking.

I hear Hugh yelling on my way out, 'Someone should teach you a lesson!'

I pick up my pack, say nothing, and walk out front the front door.

Hugh begins to yell, 'I heard it all from the Frasers! If you don't leave now, I'll send you out with stars in your head!'

We hear the screen door slap. Hugh Trainor comes staggering in. 'What in hell's name is he doing here?'

Mrs. Trainor sets out a place setting for me. I'm there for dinner, like it or not.

We go into the house. There's Mrs. Trainor. 'Here for one of your visits, Tom?' with a tone of polite insincerity.

As we approach, we can smell dinner being prepared. Something was being fried on the stove. Probably a poor cut of beef,

The walk to Minerva street is only a few short minutes. Feels like an eternity.

No need to shout at the Almighty, he won't listen

Winnie invites me for dinner. There's going to be a train wreck tonight. No backing out. Events in motion, no longer under my control.

Winnie: ' Did you see my father in the Park? He's supposed to be back this evening.'

Winnie: 'My father doesn't know anything, He's been away in the Park walking the cutting lines.'
