While Roy’s
Sunday was filled with poetry, Larry’s was filled with panic.
“I wonder
what Joni may have told Roy about our motel saga?”
Larry soon started
to rationalize in high gear: “That was some time ago---I was young and foolish—I
was letting hormones rule my brain---Besides she initially agreed to do it---I
had already paid for the motel room---Joni is messed up because of the wild
life of her crazy mother---Any boy would get mad if a girl changed her mind at
the last minute---Maybe she didn’t tell Roy all of the details---Maybe I am
just letting my mind get out of control---After all, I did sorta tell her I was
sorry, sorta. I did call her and read Roy’s “Love at first sight letter.””
It is
strange how the mind works. Larry suddenly decided he needed to take a Sunday
afternoon nap, only his parents did stuff like that. When he awoke, he stopped
making excuses and started to think of how to make his guilt and shame go away.
This not knowing was driving him nuts.
“I
guess I could just tell Roy the whole
story.Or maybe I should just nibble around the edges and stop when Roy has
heard enough. Maybe I shouldn’t mention it unless Roy brings it up.”
Meanwhile,
back on the Wilson farm, Roy had the strongest of desires to just hold Joni and
he also wanted to have his friend Larry do some confessing.
Roy went to
Sunday evening services with his family per normal; however, Larry did not
come. Roy had no way of knowing that at the start of Sunday night worship,
Larry was on the telephone talking to Joni.
