Most people would be on vacation because it was August, and many Swedes either traveled or stayed in cottages like the one I had been to with the Ande...bergs and Pia.I went back to the house, showered, dressed, and then joined Anders and Eva for breakfast. I asked about a skating rink and they said the closest one was in Västra Frölunda, about twenty minutes by bus. I could take a tram from Västra Frölunda directly to the school I would be going to. It was also possible that Anders could drop me. He discovered that Paula was very easy to talk to and that she loved to laugh. And Tuck opened up enough to tell Paula that he and his fiance had broken up the day before on what was supposed to be their wedding day.Finally, Noreen, the big haired lady that was the only waitress in Burt’s Saloon & Grill made her way to Tuck’s table with his steak and potatoes.“Damn!” exclaimed Tuck when he saw that platter with the biggest ribeye he had ever been served and piled high next to and on top of it. She might be trying to kill him. Or their children. Or the family pet. The police will come and arrest the guy. Guess what? Maybe the guy wasn’t guilty of domestic violence. Maybe the girl was the violent one who attacked and hurt him. Maybe she is the one who should have been arrested. Cops need to be made aware of this. Male victims of domestic violence need help too. It’s not only women who get abused. I don’t trust most cops because of their misguided chivalry when it comes to domestic. " Rachel, you and Mark are like family, I should be here. How's Lancedoing?" He's still in a coma so they don't know how extensive the damage is. Thedoctor doesn't know how long he'll be in one and I don't want to leavehis side in case he wakes. I might be here for a week or more, they justdon't know," Mom said, desperately."We'll don't you worry. We have an extra bedroom and Mark can stay for aslong as you want. You just take care of your husband, Mark will be justfine with us." Thank you.
