After sitting there for a few minutes, thinking about Laura, I got up. Between the adrenaline the dream had dumped into my body, and my mind continuin...g to churn away on the promise I had made and so far, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get back to sleep for a while.I walked out of the cave through the house and into the quiet of a night softly lit by a quarter moon. The night smells of the desert and the river wafted over me as I walked out into the warm night air away from the cave.. Saturday Tracy was all giggles, and just a little too happy. I was half watching T.V., when Tracy made a motion for me to go to my room. I got up, and went upstairs, trying to draw as little attention as possible. Tracy came up a few minutes later. She walked in my room, leaving the door opened."Guess what, stud, I told mom I wanted to make a doctors appointment so I could go on the pill. We'll be able to do it the right way."I said that was great, and asked her what mom said about her request.. Naturally there came a day when Donald came to call and Debbie wasn't there and Connie gave Donald his first taste of an older woman. For the next four months Connie saw to Donald's sexual education two or three times a week and then Debbie dumped him. He still dropped by to see Connie, but she wouldn't have anything to do with him once Debbie threw him over. Over the next two years Debbie went through a string of boy friends and, of course, Connie went through them too. Things came to a head. I had it insulated, I had new double pane windows installed, and new Vinyl siding put on. I had a new roof put on even though I didn’t need one. I was preparing for the rest of my life…hopefully with a trouble free house.I had installed a new fence all around my backyard. It was an eight-foot privacy fence that had been guaranteed for twenty years.I built my back porch as a deck that would surround the new Jacuzzi that was on backorder and had not arrived yet. It looked funny with a big hexagon.
