Dart could barely keep his mind on school work or his job tonight, so caught up was he in the dream of their big plans for two months from today.

He wonders about the protocol for gift-giving for Eleanor and Norman. Will he and Dot give the other couple a single gift, or should Dart buy something for Eleanor and something else for Norman? Also, what kind of china does she like? He has no preference at all of style or color. It seems odd that these two would discuss their sterling pattern off and on for months but have never talked about the dishes they’ll eat off of every day.

He was too tired to go to church this morning and now he must get going on his school work.

He’d rather tell her in great detail how and why he loves her, but that would take all night and he must do that school work…
