Rebecca finished and Bobby rolled his sleeve down. He stood up and walked over to Davis, towering over him. He got a really mean look in his eyes and said “What the ____ are you doing with my wife??”

Davis turned really pale and looked at Tullia quickly before turning back to Bobby. The room got really quiet and everyone was looking over there.

“Well? What’re you doing?”

Tullia chose that moment to interfere. “Bobby, leave him alone. Go sit down.”

Bobby looked heartbroken. “But Tullia, don’t you see how much I love you?” He pulled up his sleeve and showed her the heart on his arm with her name in it, grinning at her impishly.

I don’t know what happened next because Bruce bumped me and I looked at him to see why. When I looked back, Bobby was sitting next to Tullia laughing along with all of them. Davis still looked pretty pale though. 😀

When we were done eating, we had to clean up. A bunch of kids got kitchen duty, (including Colter), and a bunch of my crewmates and I cleaned up where we’d eaten. I wiped down tables, moved benches around, helped sweep, and then helped in the kitchen when I was done with that. They have a sweet kitchen!!

In the Dining Hall they had a TV and a blackboard. On the blackboard was a list of Olympic medals the US had gotten. When we were done cleaning we all crowded around the board, eager for news of the Olympics.

We were banished from the dining hall then, told to wait for Jen and Katie outside. We all sat around in the clearing, just talking. It was a bittersweet time for me – with every moment that passed, we were getting closer to the time we’d have to leave each other.
