Michael and I had a wonderful sex life. When we found I couldn't conceive, well, I was devastated. Michael was so loving and caring, he would have b...een a great dad." Just as you'd have been a wonderful mom," he told her gently. "Thanks, but I'm not so sure. My own childhood wasn't that great, and we learn how to parent, by the example of our own parents. I think it's a blessing now, that I didn't have to raise a child on my own, without Michael." They continued to share bits and pieces of. That's her car, and I saw her open the door with a key." You sure it's her?" Who the fuck else could it be?" Anyone." D'ya think so?" Yeah. Listen. Do you think she'd do that to you?" No, I, eh, I don't think so." Look, Drew, I've seen a lot over the years. Jean never struck me as the sort of girl who'd screw around. In fact I'd put money on her." How much?" You don't mean that, son." I'm not so sure any more, Derek. She's been hard to live with the past lot of weeks. She comes home at odd. "You look like a whore, you know." She stuck her tongue out at me, and we headed for the bus stop.We got on the bus, and I sat next to Erin. When I wasn't looking, she slipped her feet over mine and pulled my sandals off."Hey, give those back!" I yelled. Instead, she stood up and threw them out the window. The bus driver yelled at her to sit down, but she grabbed my gym shoes out of my backpack and threw them out too."What the hell was that for?" Relax; you look silly running around with shoes. And this place," she said, her hand waving around the lodge, "is fantastic. Wait 'til you sample the meals." Are you joining us for supper?" she asked after a moment's pause."Yes ... I've been invited to stay as long as I don't embarrass myself." Somehow, I don't think that's likely. Now my boy ... uh ... ex-boyfriend, he majored in embarrassing behavior. It's one of the reasons I'm on my own at this shindig." She had just answered a very important question without my having to ask. Thank.
