Craig and Becca would like Benjamin and I to meet them at the movies after our dinner. Benjamin thought it would be fine. Then he smiled and asked if my friends trusted him. I said they did, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. It’ll be fun. Almost like I belong here, except in four days it will all be over.
I’ve thought about it. Leaving Indiana and Benjamin. Maybe we’ll be able to continue our relationship. That will be fun.
As far as the Indiana primary… It feels like we’re not doing that well. Reporters are critical of us now, if they choose to write about us at all. Indiana is more stuffy, I think, and people think that The Senator is a peacenik. In Wisconsin, everyone loved him, even the Republicans. Now, people have bought into the story that The Senator is weak.
Ron smiled warily at me today. His mood is improving.
I can’t wait for the primary to be over. But I never want to leave Benjamin behind.
