I kept close to Kaleigh as she still seemed physically overwhelmed from this sad day's activities. I definitely understood why she was semi-out-of-it,...as she did not have a true good night's sleep since last Tuesday. Her mother, Tammy, and I had to almost force her to eat a few ribs and a small plate of salad. When Kaleigh got up to run to the restroom, I told Tammy that I would make sure she got a good night's sleep tonight, as I brought a couple of nausea pills with me. These bad boys almost. They were in the den Martha’s Mom and Dad, Ruth and Harold were on the sofa, Martha sat in the chair across from them Jeff stood beside her just in case he had to make a hasty retreat. Jeff broke the news to them; Ruth jumped pulled Jeff into her arms crying saying how happy she was for them. Then she said she had to get his Mom’s number so they could start planning the wedding. It would have to be fast she figured she could pull it together in a month at the country club. Ruth pulled Martha. She had dropped the hint to me a couple of times that it was her Uncle that had taken her virginal cherry and that her mother was aware of it telling her to obey her Uncle because his money was helping out the entire family. Her uncle’s spouse was one of those Mexican senoritas that didn’t speak English all that good, but could wrap her pretty legs around a man and leave him no doubt about her communication skills. I suspected he was using her to advance his business interests by distracting. It happened, now we’re talking like adults. No one is at fault or in trouble or anything.”“Sometimes I feel like you’re the one taking care of me,” he said, staring into my eyes as I polished off my waffle.“I certainly took care of you last night. I’m still leaking,” I said. His face contorted to embarrassment again. “Oh c’mon dad, I’m trying to be cool about this! Meet me halfway.” The embarrassed grimace turned to a reluctant smile. I could tell it was difficult for him now that he knew I was.
