Moving On

“Overruled,” the judge said.  Deiter’s attorney had been forceful in his arguments. I expected him to continue, but he sat back down without a word.

In his shoes, I might have kept arguing. I didn’t like to argue, but once I’d invested so much energy I wouldn’t want to quit.  Jones put a reassuring hand on Deiter’s shoulder, as if to say, “It’s just one battle, let’s move on.”

Today I will move on without giving up.
