AlpheccaStars1. I am leaving.Thanks Alphecca,
But don't you think it's too short amount of time to describe with -ing? You say the sentence and a second later you are gone already.

But you say it as you are in the process of leaving. That can take some time -- putting on your coat, fishing for your keys, kissing the kids and opening the door. It''s not like a nanosecond!
