I was mad at myself for bringing all this down on us and I was frustrated at Joe for not trying to help save the marriage.”“Oh please, Mother!” ...ngie scolded. “If Daddy would’ve cheated on you, would you have forgiven him and fought for the marriage?”Gwen slowly shook her head and smiled sadly.“We both know the answer to that, sweetheart. I would’ve been much more vindictive and would have tried to inflict much more pain than your father did.“Angie I said I was disappointed, not that I didn’t. Get one disgruntled Frat boy on my case for fucking his girlfriend better than he could ever hope to and I was toast. I thought fast."I want permission slips. From the boyfriends of the female team members. Full disclosure."Lisa thought a minute. "I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

Mom, excuse me, I mean Kathy, was as popular at the party as she had been at the prom and I had more people come up and talk to me at that party than I'd had talk to me during the entire school year. Surprisingly a lot of them were girls, including the two who had turned me down. I was having such a good time that I kind of lost track of Kathy. One minute she was. 'When are we going, ' she asked excitedly.'We leave June 10th, and come home June 14th.' 'll of a sudden a dark look came across her face.'June 13th is when my company has their annual summer dinner/dance at the Country Club, and we are supposed to go to it. I am not missing that party to go with you on a dumb trip to Florida, ' she harangued.'But Allie honey, I have paid for everything already.' 'Don't' Allie honey me, get your fucking money back, because there is no way that I am going on.
