Jana must have let Sandy have some alcohol. I remembered then that I wasn't Sandy's personal guardian anymore. The only connection between us was that... I was trustee of her funds until she reached twenty-one.Jana and I were drifting apart. Since she had her hysterectomy, our joining became less and less.
