Because of You Page #8

Sue finally told me.

Miss Marvel is Kim's mother.

Then you must realize ..

I was coming home to

you and I found her here.

It threw me for a while.

But I'll get over it.

I've no hold on you, Steve.

I've always known that some night

the music and the moonlight ..

And my perfume would

get the better of you.

Why put off until tomorrow

what we can do tonight?

Oh.

Oh, I should have gone

to Paris with you.

Then no matter who ..

- I've got some of Paris here.

Champagne, some records.

I'd love some of both.

I'll take care of the music.

- Alright.

While that's cooling,

I'll go check on Kim.

Isn't she asleep?

I still have to look in.

She'll ask me in the morning.

Aha.

Me too.

- I'll only be gone a moment.

That's how I missed

going to Paris with you.

I've been waiting for you, Daddy.

Look.

A letter from Marvy.

That's very nice sweetie,

but you should be asleep.

Read it.

To Rosemary too.

Another time.

Why don't you, Steve?

Please, Daddy.

Sit down, Rosemary.

"My dear Kim."

- Hear how she calls me?

"You must have wondered what happened

to me when I went away so suddenly."

"Why I went doesn't matter, so long as

you know it had nothing to do with you."

"I love you very much."

"This is the wonderful

thing about love."

"It continues even when

people don't see each other."

Louder, Daddy.

You voice gets so scratchy.

It's such poor light here.

I can't see very well.

Go on.

"Still, I thought you may ask your Daddy

if you could write to me now and then."

"And I'll write you, too."

"Of course it's not the

same as seeing each other."

"But when a thing is impossible

we do the next best thing."

Now the part about you.

Aloud.

"Your father loves you very much."

"That is enough to make

a child proud and happy."

"In case you're missing me .."

"Try to hide it for his sake."

"Don't hurt him."

"I'll let you know where I'll be as soon

as I start being the magic lady again."

"For now, I am resting."

"Tired."

"All my love to you."

"And my best to your father."

Isn't that something?

I thought she went away because

you two didn't like each other.

Now I know you do.

Daddy, what is it?

Ontario, Oregon.

I can write Marvy.

Can't I, Daddy?

- Of course, dear.

Goodnight, you two.

What happened?

He got a nail.

His foot caught on a nail.

He nearly yanked it off.

A hospital training comes in handy.

Yeah.

I was always pretty good

at this as a kid, though.

See that cow over there. She broke

her leg as a calf. I fixed her up.

Later, she ..

Won a ribbon at the 4-H Fair.

Well.

Come on, little fellow.

Up you go.

He'll be as good as new in about a week.

Chris ..

I've been pretty stupd.

Could we start again?

Not the way I've been .. but

the way I was when we met.

Needing you every minute.

Steve.

Oh, Steve.

Steve.

You're not doing this

just for Kim, are you?

Are you?

Oh o, darling. No. I love you.

I love you, I love you.

I love you so terribly.

Well, you're mother and your brother ..

Are surely going to want to meet

the man you're going to marry ..

Of course they are.

Come on, I'll show you where they are.
