I went back into the kitchen and my mom told me to sit down. She opened the scrapbook, pointed at a picture and told me to look at it."That is your da... when we got married."I looked at the picture of the tall, slim guy and there was no way that they could have been the same guy. Before I could say anything my mom said, "Your father works hard honey and his idea of relaxing when he gets home is to drink beer and watch TV. It is not good for him and I've tried to get him to exercise, but he just. "It's time."Daisy had finished with the dishes, and she had put al had into thewashing machine. She walked into the bedroom as Melanie gestured to achair in front of her vanity in the corner. "Sit, girl," she said.Daisy sat. Melanie ran a finger through Daisy's hair. She frowned."Your hair isn't long enough," she said. "You're going to need a wig.Either that, or you could just let people know you're a sissy." Can...can I have a wig." This is going to cost you, Daisy. You need clothes. Lingerie.. . I think so.’ Carolyn took another sip. ‘Enough talk,’ she whispered. ‘I need you. Just . . . just make love to me tonight.’ Lola touched her lover’s face. Then she took the bottle of wine and Carolyn’s glass and set them to the side of the sofa. The two just stared at each other for a moment. Then Lola leaned in and their lips made contact, sending small jolts of electricity racing back and forth. Lola realized how frazzled Carolyn must be. She didn’t want to play any of their usual games.. She had been careful to look her best in a pretty summer dress that came down to her knees, becoming sandals on her feet and her long brown hair neatly brushed and tied back with a ribbon.
