"Pardon me, Sir, The lady is with me."

"Oh Really! Well I want to dance with her."

"Did you ask her?"

"Well, she knew what I wanted."

"Exactly, she is well aware of what you want. Just release her hand and everything will be OK."

"Can't she speak for her self?"

"When she is with me, I speak for her. Don't even think about asking me." The man glared and turned and walked away. Tommie hugged his arm and smiled up at him. "Thank you, dear man."

They walked and talked with many of the people, Tommie seemed to know most of them. Another older man smiled and greeted Tommie, he looked at Colin and said, "You Italian guys are very protective of your women, aren't you. I am Sean Murphy, glad to meet you Colin O'Bannon."

"It is always a pleasure to meet a fellow Italian."

Tommie giggled, "We Italians have to stick together."

Sean Murphy said, "I was just talking to Dave Burton, he told me you are just home from the war. When you are ready to do some jobs let us know. We are very busy right now and we could use some good help. If you are escorting this young lady, I know you are a fine man. Would you mind if I dance with her."

"Not at all Sir, that is up to her."

Tommie squeezed his arm and walked off to dance. Colin felt a surge of jealousy wash over him. Why? He was relieved when she was holding his arm again. Why?

She looked up at him and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

"No, I haven't danced with you yet."

Her smile was an invitation and they moved on to the floor. It was an old love song and he held her close, her head on his shoulder, his nose in her hair. When the music stopped he put her hand on his arm and they headed for the door. Several young guys approached them but turned away when he glared at them.

He put her in the car, "Where to my lady, where shall we eat?"
