With the assistance of a nurse, I stood and screamed in pain but managed to get into the car. Aunt Susan and I didn’t talk much the rest of the even...ng and she gave me some more pain pills and put me to bed after some chicken soup.The next morning, my pain was still intense, but I convinced my aunt to go to work today and that I was going to stay home and sleep. She gave me a new cell phone and said my other phone had been reported stolen and blocked, so she felt no more messages would be sent. But that didn’t stop Fuzz from waiting every day for Maria and Growl to come back, Growl loping up the front walk like a stupid clown with his tongue hanging out. Fuzz hissed displeasure every time they left together. Then one day, after getting Growl ready to go, Maria put down Growl leash and went and picked up something from the table. Walking over to Fuzz she pet his head and back, making him stand so that she would get the itchy spot just in front of his tail. Curious he looked up at her…. Perhaps it was petty of me, but I was already nervous and irritated enough. Though I was sure we wouldn't miss much, and that Darlene would no doubt wait on our arriving before anything really did start, I decided to give Karen until eight fifteen to get there. After that, I was heading over with or without her. In a way, I was again hoping she had changed her mind after all and wouldn't even bother showing up.It was eight fourteen when she rang my buzzer."Sorry I'm late," she apologized. "She said "I'm ready, I'll meet you in the hall right away."After breakfast we headed to the convention center. I wanted to make sure everything was set up and ready to go at our booth. We arrived found everything set up and ready for business.As the day wore on, Donna went to lunch leaving me there alone. About five minutes after she left, this rather handsome guy, I guessed to be in his mid thirties, 6'2", 200lbs with light brown hair and blue eyes came up to the booth and said, "Hello."I.
