" Tanya retorted.Sandi laughed."Yeah, it does happen, Tanya. We've done a little research and found out that it really DOES happen."Tanya was still do...ubtful from her expression."But it doesn't matter whether someone else actually has done it, or not. WE are going to do it ... are you interested?"Tanya thought a few seconds."What do I have to do?"Sandi gave her a company card. "All you have to do is show up here for an interview. It's going to take maybe 4 hours, we want to know everything .... I guess I just let prom slip by.”“And none of the guys you’ve been dating have offered to take you?”“They all have dates for prom already. My first choice for a date already has one.”“Who?”“You, dummy. Hmm. There’s this nice but kind of geeky boy I’ve been flirting with, though. I bet he doesn’t have a date yet. I’ll ask him.”“Oh. Well, good luck.”“Hey. How about if we double to the prom. I’ll pay for a pre-prom limo to pick us all up and then you can pay for one to take us home. You can drop. I'm also going to make another attempt at a heart-to-heart with Mom.With those words, she bid me a quiet "Good night Dad." Rising, she quickly left the bar. I didn't hear from or see my daughter for another month. I never expected to hear from her mother at all. So this is where I found myself at the very beginning of my story.I was sitting in my new office when I saw her standing in my doorway.I had recently been promoted because I had done such a good job in the last six months that I got my. I did it a few times and then realized it wasn't what I wanted. I wanted you, not some stranger. I also realized I was doing it for the same reasons you did when we were young, to get even."One night I picked up a girl and was about to have her perform oral sex on me. She was bending over when it dawned on me there was no pleasure, not for me. I stopped her, gave her the money and threw her out of my truck. That was almost ten years ago and I've never done it again." I guess I can understand.
