She really was ignorant about all this. She would have to discuss it with her mother but it would be very embarrassing and she would certainly have to...wait until Richard was not around.Her opportunity came when Richard was playing in a golf competition with a meal afterwards. She knew that might be her only chance for a while and she made up her mind to take it. She planned how she would raise the subject and the questions she would ask. When Deborah picked her up from school that day though. I came up with some dumb excuse for her to help me, making sure she had to bend over to get in the bottom drawer."Do you need anything else?" she said with a smile that really got me going."I can think of one thing, but I don't want to offend you..."

She was pretty cute by any normal standards, but those braces were really getting to me."I like. As we started out of town on the highway two pickups cut us off and theRednecks got out with baseball bats."Where you goin to Misty?" demanded one."This Wolf Clan Mountain trash forcing you to go up the mountain withhim?" asked another."You might want to know that little miss Misty here has a Dick," one wasclose enough to reach for her.Instead Caleb's arm shot out like a striking snake as the guy tried topull away screaming in pain, Caleb's belt knife sticking through hishand.

We were several minutes from the house when she said:"You do know that I love you right? And I want to live my life with you?"I just paid attention to my driving and stayed silent."It was a stupid thing for me to do baby and I promise to spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Just give me a chance. That's all I'm asking for baby; a chance to make things.
