Hotel, days, maybe weeks, gone, alone with Ean, school, alone. Mom had talked to him about it. Before I stayed with one her friends. This time, I wou...d stay with him, Ean. She said he was pulling himself together, for me. He was needed then and mom said that right there raised his mood some. He had something to do. He always loved projects. Unfortunately, I was his project that time. Ean even came out for dinner the night before mom left. There wasn’t much talking, but it was nice to see him.. "This is my chance at becoming a Partner, John said he talked to Mr. Jensen! Jennifer you know if I get moved up to Mahogany Row you go with me. Mr. Jensen practically promised me the position!" I wouldn't be counting on any promotions after what John Strickner said in the meeting this morning." There must be some kind of mistake, John wouldn't do that to me" The mistake was you believing the shit that Stickner was feeding you., Also, you might as well know, he has already leaked out that you. ‘Actually, I’m not,’ Greg said. ‘When you see Uncle John in the morning, you’ll see why I’m not. I haven’t seen him this happy since Aunt Marion died. Actually, Gail could be good for him.’ He chuckled. ‘It’s kind of funny. I remember seeing Gail around their house when I was younger. She had a really wicked crush on Uncle John. She followed him around and mooned over him.’ ‘She did?’ his wife asked. Greg nodded. ‘Yeah, she sure did,’ he continued. ‘Thing was, everybody but Uncle John knew it,. “Not that it matters. My ex-wife was a lesbian.”‘So you married a lesbian?” I asked. I found Eric’s disclosure interesting, because while I knew there were bisexual girls, I had never known of anyone married to a bisexual.“It was complicated,” Eric replied. “We made it work for a while, but then over time, she became more attracted to other women than to me.”‘Well,” I replied, “It looks like it was her loss.”There was something about Eric that stood out. I don’t know if it was his piercing.
