my smile gave way to a grin. "Yes ..." he replied and I looked at him again.
"Hey! Why so gloomy?" I asked the question and cocked my head slightly.
"Oh nothing ..." he replied. He was never good at lying. I sighed softly and
then turned my gaze back to the horizon. Nobody said for a while
something, but then he began to speak. "You know ... I think all the time
