I turn around to see AJ looking at me.  I look at Sarah and Whitney.  They shake their heads yes.
     "OK I guess.  Sarah why don't you formally introduce Whitney and Nick.  They seem to like...to talk to each other."   I say with a smile.  Then I turn towards AJ.
     "You wanna go for a walk?"  he asks
     "Sure."  I say
     AJ nods his head and motions us towards the door.  We walk outside and start walking down the stairs.  Then we walking towards the park.  By the time we almost get there I'm wondering if we're ever going to talk.
     "Ummm....what did you want to talk about?"  I ask as we sit down at a picnic table.
     "Well, I wanted talk about everything that's happened between us."  He says
     "OK.  Shoot."  I say
     AJ looks deeply into my eyes and says, "Suzanna,  when we first met, we were really close and I knew what you were thinking.   I'm having a hard time reading your mind lately."
     He looks down at the ground and says, "I almost decided to stop trying.  And usually I listen to my feelings when they say something like I did at the concert, cause their usually not wrong."  He looks up, "Maybe they are this time though.  Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not for sure.   I don't know; and I set up every night wondering.  And it's gonna drive me nuts until I figure it out; and the only way I'll figure it out is if you tell me."
     I begin to get teary eyed.  AJ says, "I really do love you.  And it's weird I said that at the concert.  But it's true I guess.  Deep down I know it's true.   But I hope that nothing has changed between the two of us."  He grabs my hand, "Because I love you as much as anybody can without ever having truly kissed you, hugged you, spoke softly in your ear."
     He stands up and points towards the river, "The only time that we have ever been really good together was when us and the guys were swimming in the river.  We were perfect with each other."
     I sit there looking at him for a minute.  Then I get up and walk toward the river.   He gets up and walks towards me.
     AJ puts his hand on my waist and turns me around to face him.  He looks at me for a minute then says, "Why won't you love me?"
     The wind blows my hair around.  I look at AJ and say, "What makes you think I don't love you?"
     "Ummmm....well, you kind of made it clear that you when you always turn your back on me.  Or am I just misunderstanding all of this."  AJ says sarcastically.
     I give him a small smile and say, "AJ it's not that I won't love you.”
