I just make the first excuse that comes to me. Think of leaving you after you have been away so long. Sometimes I almost tell them I have a sweetheart and I think that would be enough of an answer.

When I was out to the Lake your mother showed me a coat (overcoat) dark grey in color and asked if it belonged to me.
