Charles's grandparents from his father's side of the family died a long time ago and his dad had been raised by his grandaunt.Some of the customers we...e his mom's old friends who came all the way to the shop just to welcome his mom back. As for how they knew she was back, was simple. Most of the townspeople attended church on Sundays. His grandparents attended church on Sundays. They told their friends in church and word spread. Also that once his mom lived in Constantinople's Lot, she had to. Todd lay staring at the ceiling of his room on the second floor. His window looked out over the back yard. He lay watching the strange patterns that the reflected light from the pool below threw onto his ceiling. Todd lay with his hands behind his head.Todd was twenty years old, attending college and working after classes to pay for his car and his insurance. His father had forbid him to work, he wanted his son to concentrate on his studies. Todd had gotten a full acedimic scholarship and his. It was sweltering. Grandma picked me up in her old car, glad to see me (she lived alone) and glad to have a "man" around the house to look after things. Although she was roughly 68 years old, her body was one of a strong, vibrant woman much younger. Her hair wasn't totally white yet (it was still mostly dark)and her body seemed strong and firm compared to other women her age. She was a bit large-boned and had large breasts, thighs and buttocks. But as near as I could tell, she was not too. " I'll come out with you," I said excitedly. I really wanted to see mymom."No," he contradicted. "Stephanie will want to make sure that yourmakeup is still okay, and you should probably get something to eatfirst. You spent a lot of energy this evening, and you need toreplenish some of it. Once you've done that, we'll be waiting for you."He smiled at me and gave me another short hug before opening the doorto reveal Stephanie waiting for her chance to get at me. "I'll see youin a bit," he said.
