The giggles and laughter of several women echoed from the walls of the hall as if on cue. Darlene, Lucia, and a woman whose name turned out to be Sand...ra emerged from the kitchen moments later. I saw the trio and nearly burst out laughing. They were as drunk as skunks, and could barely keep from falling over as they staggered toward the meeting table.Darlene took a seat next to me with a stumble and moaned as she held her head in her hands. She seemed like she had just come from an orgy: her. That was it….I started work straight away at the centre and began my C&G course a month later, I was really happy, this was what I wanted to do, it was dream come true. The next couple of years were probably the happiest I can remember. Mum was overjoyed that I had sorted myself out and seemed to be acting sensibly again, but I noticed that she had started to pour herself a glass of wine as soon as she got in from her shift at the hospital, even at breakfast time, and there was always at least. I had no idea that this was coming. I promise you, even if you say no, I'll still be here taking care of and supporting you two as well. I wanna give you this as well, because I want to be with you too sis, no one else in the world, sure as hell not Cassandra,” Mitch replied.“But you don't wanna date at all first?” I asked.“Midge, I've dated you before. We've gone out to clubs, we've been out to dinner together, and once we made love, I think I know you better than all my past girlfriends. There was a scream from Jen, and she rushed through to find me."I've done it, Jon, I've got my grades for Reading!"I grabbed her round the waist, swung her off her feet in a big hug, and twirled her round in celebration."Wonderful - well done you!"Mum came through to see what all the noise was, and caught us cavorting like lunatics in her hall."Careful, you two, we've got breakable things like walls and doors in here! Jen, I presume that you passed; are you going to phone Dad and put him out of.
