usually only the couples are interested in the picnic meals , but ill prepare them for anyone . he was a better man than my real father . but even so how are we going to get inside . i choked back more tears , feeling too much-much too much-all of it building in my chest . he fished and hunted , like most of the men in town . touching a part of her that had n't been touched before . the men all shake hands and begin to chat .
