He and the orchestra would take a break at the midpoint of the evening, so the girls and I could perform ‘For Good’.The evening proceeded quite we...l. On a couple of songs, Michael started, and we’d come out and dance from that point on. Occasionally, we didn’t come out at all. The break occurred, and there was a voice that announced, “Ladies and Gentlemen, be prepared to be amazed by these young people, Charles, Claire, and Kallie, as they perform to the song ‘For Good’ from WICKED!”The girls. On the way home from the hospital Jennifer asked if I could stop and get her a couple of things. I asked what she needed, thinking I could tell her I had it at home. She said her period was due and she had nothing to use. I stopped and got her what she asked for. I bought three boxes. I figured she was going to be off her feet for weeks, might as well be prepared. At home I carried her into the house and got her comfortable on the couch. I made some tea and we talked. Not about much, just. For a couple of hours, at least.”“Hopefully,” I said as we walked towards the girls’ locker at the back of the school. “I’ll probably come in and watch a little of your practice. Set them pretty, now,” I added as I gave her a small smack on her tight butt. Lynette smiled at my affectionate love tap, and gave me a small kiss on the lips before she darted into her locker room.As I turned to walk back to the cafeteria, I heard a soft, sweet, “How you doing, Mike?”Cathy, along with Jennifer,. .."Sandy, can I have a word with you?" he asked. I stepped away from thereceiving line to hear what he had to say. "You'll never guess ... theteam lost tonight. I've already spoken to Kirstie. She's disappointed,but she's very excited to take her part in the play. So I'm afraidthat's it for your performances. I'm sorry, Sandy."I'll admit I was VERY disappointed - a lot more than Kirstie, that'sfor sure. I also felt quite envious of her, but what the hell, Ithought - I got to play the preview.
