     Joe felt a little self-conscious knowing his eyes were walking all over her. He noticed her eyes were blue and taking a stroll over him.

 

They quickly grabbed a table and sat down. Joe felt a little self-conscious knowing his eyes were walking all over her. He noticed her eyes were blue and taking a stroll over him. This went on a while until Natasha said it was time for her to go. Joe wanted her to stay longer but felt she did not like him. He offered to walk her to her car “okay Joseph.”
As they were walking Joe wondered what exactly when wrong. He sensed Natasha was upset that he tried to walk away. But Joe did not wait around for anyone! 15 minutes was his rule, and then hit the highway. Besides, she didn’t have much good to say about him. He liked his coat, it was old and worn out just like he was. Natasha stopped suddenly, “Joseph, walk with me around the lake. “ Astonished, he looked in her and said “That would be nice.”
They walked and talked for hours and in that period of time Joe learn more about Russia than in all his previous years. He could tell Natasha was a proud woman. Proud of her heritage and homeland.   Joe listened and did not interrupt. When she was finished, he said, “You sound homesick.” Almost in tears Natasha said, “Yes Joseph I am.” Natasha looked Russian and the white parka she wore on a cold early February night created an indelible picture in Joseph’s mind.
