The last time Heather and I had broken up I had seriously considered taking a shot at Wanda, but her husband had returned before I could get myself of... of the dime.Sure enough, the dryer didn't work. I checked to make sure it was plugged in and then I went looking for the circuit breaker box. I found the 50-amp breaker for the dryer popped and I reset it and went back inside and told her to try it. She hit the button and the dryer started spinning."Thanks Ray. Can I offer you a cup of coffee?"I. Kimmie could sense my emotion and she grabbed my hand. Lisa was about to speak before I put my hand up to stop her."No, Lisa, it's over." I slowly turn away, trying to hide the sadness in my eyes. I opened the door to my car and got in.Lisa sobbed louder and tried to stop me but Kimmie stood in her way and told her to let me be. As I drove off down the road, I just replayed what she confessed. How could she say she loves me? Did she think I would just take her back? The truth is, before. ”Harold and Columbo watched closely. No missteps, no slip-ups. Good manners observed, the proprieties in place. Even though they cleaned and scrubbed that house during the day, their nights were relatively free. Harold or Columbo, or both, might fuck them. But compared to a night at the Buena Vista it was like a vacation.The little whores went back to polishing windows and Gertie got down to business. “How many kids did you turn away this month?”Harold said, “Fourteen.” Columbo nodded. Two. Then whats this? I ask brushing away her hair over her forehead to see a mark from one of the rocks. It was dripping blood. Its nothing.. she says as she pushes my hand away. I sit her up and grab a bottle of water and a Band-Aid I found in the glove box. Sit still baby. I say as I gently drip water into the wound, making her wince. I then rub the dirt out carefully, then seal it with a Band-Aid. There you go. All better now. I see her smile as I know shes thinking A Band-Aid wont help with.
