I didn’t know any of them. When it came down to it, I only knew my date from his trips to the grocery store and my father’s calm acceptance. I pra...tically threw myself into his arms. He held the paper cup for me and I gulped down the drink. I hardly noticed the alcohol taste this time, I was so thirsty.He pulled me into his arms as Diana Ross sang ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ and I breathed a sigh of relief.
