The glow of the overhead lightbulb was about all the cheer he could take. Sitting with Ann at the kitchen table, once again packed and ready to leave, he just needed to say a few goodbyes and be on his way. He’d like to tell the Hughes children goodbye, but Hannah wouldn’t allow it. He’d have to hope she made excuses for him. He turned the coffee mug in his hands. “I’m sorry to keep you wondering if I’m staying or leaving. I’m really leaving this time.” “Oh, you’re no bother at all. You’re a busy man with obligations, and I’m sure it was difficult to get this time off.” A knock sounded on the back door. Then his dad stuck his head inside. “I saw the lights on back here and figured you were up.” “Come in,” Ann said. “I’ll let you two talk.” She poured Redd a cup of coffee and headed out of the kitchen. “So…” his dad said as he stirred cream into the coffee “…figured you must be leaving town.” The two remained quiet as Mark continued spinning the cup, reading the slogan on each side: Money can’t buy love…but chocolate can.
