They are still talking about.  I remember my Grandfather was saddened by your father’s death.  I gather he had a lot of respect for him.”  She commented softly.<br/><br/>It didn’t cross her mind that Adam’s comparison between their situations were quite different, the fact he was trying to understand her was enough for her.  She knew life wasn’t fair as she had even heard some of the town was still talking about the plane accident that took her parents life before her grandfather took her in.  Tami would never understand how people could judge by your family and the younger generation so quickly and unfairly.<br/><br/>Tami gave a small smile as he told her that if things got bad that she could always come back for the car if it was still there.  “I appreciate the thought very much.”  She pushed a dark curls of her hair back behind her ear as he took her card and wrote down her cell phone number that she told him.  “Alright and thank you again.”  Tami replied.  “I really do appreciate it.” She threw her bag over her shoulder.  “I guess I should start walking to try and open my store on time.”<br/>
