A touchy subject

Over the weekend, I brought up to Lisa the idea of her moving out and back to her own place again. She's been staying at my place for two months now, and while the sheriff hasn't yet caught whoever was responsible for the disappearances, no one else has been kidnapped lately. Maybe the people who did it have been scared off. Lisa said she'd think about it and let me know sometime this week.

It's not that life has been so unbearable with her around, but I just want to be alone sometimes. Part of the reason the topic came up is because it's almost the anniversary of Madeleine's passing. I want to mourn it in private, without Lisa or anyone else around.
