I had simply told mom that Mark was taking offers and leaving RI as soon as he made up his mind I hadn't said where. Mom looked at me for a minute as if she were thinking, and then shrugged;

"Well where else would he go?" She smiled. "Mark's missed you Megan I know he has. I suppose when you said he was leaving I should have seen it coming She grunted. "He's using that case and your father to justify it." She then grinned at me;

"So am I right? Is he heading your way?"

"It's Chicago or LA." I told her. "He's trying to figure it out."
