“Yes.” I didn’t want to chance anyone having the time to arrive home and having to introduce Blair.
He walked to the door without another word. In the car he remained silent as I led him outside of town to the Crossroads Subdivision. The only conversation was my simple cues to turn right or left. Blair slowed the car to a stop in front of the log house.
