I'm wearing amen's suit jacket, that is what my eyes perceive. I wasn't wearing asuit today, not when I left my house. Mommy insisted I wear a dress...or at least a skirt and a blouse.My Mommy would never let me wear pants to school, I told her I wantedto dress like my friend. But now that I was wearing a man's suit, Iwished that this nightmare would like just end."This is like so totally grotty. It's like something my dad wouldwear." I shouldn't have said it out loud, not that anyone would. "Make a day of it in town after you do your chores. I need to be here to count the cattle, so I'll fix dinner for tonight. Mary could you check on whether the school bus comes out this far?"Mary and the girls gave me doubtful looks remembering prior attempts I had made to cook. I didn't think I was that bad at it. I only burnt the roast the one time and the beans turned out ok for the most part.After they left I went outside and watched the men unloading the cattle. Steve came by in his truck. I winced. Julianna hated her name to be shortened in any way. If this was her, and she was allowing him to call her Jules it made things worse. Strange how little things like that matter.The conversation continued “No, I was late back. Give me an hour to get ready and I’ll meet you downstairs? Shall we say 7.30? Yes, looking forward to it. I am so going to make you squeal tonight. I’ll make you forget that lame ass cuck you married” he said gleefully.“No, no, Julianna,” he said “I didn’t mean. " Yes we are, Susie, but we're not going to buy any of the sorts of underwear they have on display." You promise?" I promise. Now come on."Inside they were met by a young lady. "Hi, I'm Lulu. How can I help you?" Turning to Susie, she asked, "Something special for you, hon?" Well, actually," Carl put in, "this may be a little out of your normal line, but I was wondering if you might have some swim wear." Why, yes, we do," she nodded, "are you looking for something for both of you?"Carl said,.
