You got any money?”“Yes, but not much. Listen, I have an uncle and aunt that live in Barstow, California. I’ve stayed with them a fe... times before. Mother’s never in touch with them any more, so she couldn’t tell them what happened. We could call them, tell them wfre engaged or something, and I’m sure they’d let us stay with them a few weeks until we got ourselves organized. It’s a small town but maybe we could both get jobs.”“Any port. The email was enthusiastic and she was given the go ahead to ship, at the very end of the email was the final amount for the check he would have his assistant send out immediately upon arrival. At least the whole day wasn’t a bust. She struggled to get the canvas up the stairwell and when she finally got into her apartment, Hadley crashed on the couch and started sobbing. She cried for the entire process of getting the canvas to and from the gallery, the looks on each of the spectators’ faces. Do I have your confidence that you will not share what I am about to say with anyone? It doesn’t mean that no one else knows, but no one is ever to mention it.” Grandmother looked toward the door which was closed tightly. Liam nodded.“Whatever it is, Grandmother, I swear never to discuss it.”“Not marrying a person does not mean you will not be together for many years. When I was your age, I fell in love. I fell in love with the mentor who was instructing me on how to behave in a royal fashion.. At first it was just about me: what had it been like to lose my folks, did I like playing football at school, was I good in arithmetic (actually I was studying geometry). Then she started asking about the girls that I knew, did I like any one in particular, had I had sex with any of them like I had with her ma? WOW! Now I was freaked. I told her that she could never tell about that and that I wouldnt ever discuss it with her. She wouldnt let go of it so I did finally tell her about Uncle.
