"Umm yeah it is only a country away." Chris said thinking about it. "It makes you feel secure? Well that is a good thing...I think." He said to Melinda and smiled.

He shock his head. "No I never ever hit Jason. I came close to it but I never did." He said. "Yeah see it is a change. And it could be good, and yet it could be bad." He said. "My grandfather-on my dad's side-he always tought me not to ever really show that emotion. Not that it's bad if girls do. But he didn't believe that the man was suposed to cry at all." He told Melinda. "And I guess it has just sort of stuck with me my whole life. My dad doesn't think that way. I he was just very suprised to hear that." Chris said to her. "No problem. I don't think my hand could take it again." He said and laughed softly.

"I know. I know they have." Chris said. And then saw Melinda cry. He put his arms around her, bring her into his chest. "It's alright, we are together now. And I promise we will someday be together forever." He said and kissed her cheek.
