After finding a place to sit in the lobby of the movie theatre, Amy looked at Clifford and she said "Clifford it looks like we are going to be here for a while, would you mind telling me about yourself? I know so little about you and you never talk about your family."

Clifford cleared his throat then he began to speak. "Amy my life is very boring, I am a Christian I go to church every Sunday, I was born and raised in Kansas my Grandpa is a world war 2 veteran, my grandma is a retired nurse, my mom is a high school math teacher, my dad is a retired Army Sergeant and he served in the Special Force aka the Green Beret's.

When I was 18 years my uncle Clifford died of bone cancer and he left me his private detective business and he also left me his vacation house. So I moved here to Indiana to take over my Uncles private detective business before I left Grandpa and dad presented me with a gun safe.

That contained his m1 carbine and his 1911a1.45 caliber service pistol. Dad included a Beretta 92F 9mm pistol which is an exact duplicate of the m9 he carried when he was in the army. I have many hobbies and interests my main interest is spending time with my family but I don't get to do that very often. Then he pulled out his wallet and showed Debbie pictures of his family.

When Clifford finished speaking Amy looked at him and she said "Wow you do have a very interesting life I don't think that is boring at all. I think you have a very nice life story. " Then Debbie told Clifford her own life story about growing up in Mississippi and Clifford quietly sat next to her and listened to her patiently.

By the time Amy finished telling her life story to Clifford the rain storm finally stopped. So the young couple quickly exited the movie theatre. They got into Clifford's truck and he drove Amy home. After a few good night kisses Amy went inside her house. Then Clifford got back into his truck and he drove home.

Once he was at home Clifford got out of his truck went inside his house went straight to his bedroom and he went to sleep.

They criticized Amy for dating Clifford She did her best to defend her boyfriend Clifford unfortunately Amy's parents refused to stop criticizing and mistreating him. So the young couple was forced to cut the trip short and return to Indiana.

Finally one day Clifford was out in the field doing some surveillance work for one of his client's when he realized that it was time to propose to Amy. When his surveillance work was done he went home and he looked over his finances, and he realized that he did not have enough money in his savings account to buy an engagement ring for Amy. So he considered using his emergency credit Card to buy her engagement ring. For 13 days and 13 nights of thinking lots of thinking, Clifford got up, dressed ate breakfast then he went to the desk drawer where he kept his emergency credit card.
