His voice was sure and confident and I lost my confusion in the tenderness of his kisses. In the days that followed my love grew and grew. It was Johnny who filled my every waking thought and my last sleepy day-dream at night. When I found him waiting for me outside the theater, the dark streets took on brilliance. We lunched together in the cafeteria near the business school and my fingers would fly over the pothooks I scrawled in my stenographic notebook as I watched the hands of the clock inch to noontime. Our coming home every night took on the air of a party. Mom outdid herself to feed Johnny on his favorite midnight snacks and Kate took to having a nap in the middle of the day so she could stay up and chat with us. I could see how much these family gatherings meant to him. "When the war is over, we'll have a home like that," he told me over and over again, with a longing that showed how much he had missed being one of a real family in his childhood. But I wondered. Couldn't he see the pathetic emptiness that lay behind the warmth of our house — an emptiness that was only banished by his own presence? Couldn't he see the frustrations, the narrowness of Mom's life and of Kate's? Hadn't he seen the pleading in my mother's eyes when she hinted that Johnny and I should make our home with her after the war, when we were married? I tried to put it into words but it was impossible. I loved my family so much ... I couldn't discuss them. "WfHEN you come back," I would " protest, lightly, "I'll be working in Purdy. I'll have a real job that will be worthwhile. We will have a home, Johnny, but you needn't think I'll just be sitting there waiting for you to come in nights. We'll be partners, you and I, and when evening comes we'll have all sorts of interesting, real things to tell each other." "And what do you plan to do with Johnny, Junior? Put him in a filing cabinet while you sit in your office taking dictation?" he asked, the teasing twinkle coming into his eyes again. "I can't seem to make you understand." Hopelessness tinged my voice. "Being a mother is a full-time job — yes. But children grow up. Nursery schools are wonderful things, where children can learn to get along with others, in rooms planned specially for them — with toys they can't break — without a mother always snatching things away and saying, 'Mustn't touch.' A home never stays the same. Children grow up and leave, conditions are different— I want to grow and change with them. I want a chance first, before there are children, to find out what I can do. I want to be in the swim of things, have outside interests of my own so that I'll never be useless or dependent, not stuck away on the sidestreets of my husband's life.'" But the meaning of my words seemed to have escaped Johnny completely. He pulled me into his arms in a fierce gesture of love, burying his face in my hair. "I don't think I can stand it, Mary Ellen." His voice was muffled. "It's so darned sweet — and so far away — our getting married and having a home and children — " his kiss was hungry on my lips.
