We both live in an apartment and I came home one night from a date when I wasn't too happy. “Judging from that look on your face, the date didn't go...well?” Brad asked. “Nope, I just gently implied that I might be interested in doing the deed, and then all of the sudden he has a girlfriend,” I replied. So of course he put on his confused face and asked some follow up questions. “He's not single?” Brad asked. “According to him, no, I guess he just didn't find me all that attractive,” I replied.. She shook her head. Weird!"Just fine. It's nice to get away from the bitterness in this house. Doyou have other dates with Archie this week?" Tonight and we're going on a picnic tomorrow."The blonde girl got up and stretched her beautiful young body. "Well,enjoy yourself, 'Ronnie'." She stopped by her old room and dropped offa diary she put in a drawer underneath winter clothes.That night and the next day Veronica went over her plan. It wasperfect. Her father, God rot his soul, always played. "Again I said no. Susan said Trevor told her if I didn't agree I'd be sorry. He had powerful friends and high powered lawyers. They would take it from me and more. I laughed at her."She left, saying I'd had my chance. Well, the dispute over money dragged on, but the divorce continued, and a few weeks later, I received the Decree Nisi. You know what that means?" The divorce is not final: it's the court saying it can go ahead?"Again Joseph nodded. He paused in his tale, and went to get more tea.. ‘Well, home of course. His ma needs him for chores there too and usually he would have been home by now. She’ll hear all about you and all the things that we will be doing. I would expect that she will come by herself tomorrow.’ ‘Aren’t you worried about what she’ll say? My being here alone with you?’ ‘Not really. She is very wise and will question Billy thoroughly. She’ll find out that he has given you a place in the barn to sleep and that you’re ‘nice’ and that you’re his friend. That will be.
