You should have come over and said something, after you saw us standing around after school, waiting for Donna's mom." I was gonna, but I didn't want ...o maybe embarrass you or something." You're really shy around girls, Mike, aren't you?" I don't know, I guess that maybe I am. Sometimes I'm not too shy around you though."He heard Jennie giggling through her phone's mouthpiece."Well, that isn't what I meant. I know you're not always so shy." So what are you planning for the weekend? Besides. I nodded in agreement, So where then? Theres a new club on the other side of town called Rapture, apparently its usually pretty crowded but we should be able to get in, so even if someone is there that we know they wont see anything we do anyway. Oh? What exactly wouldnt they see us doing? I said, smiling again. Its a surprise. No clues? No chance. We both started giggling again. Then mum knocked on the door and came in, I was suddenly very glad that we had controlled ourselves earlier but. She took a deep breath and began. "First of all, I want to tell you again, I love you, and I don't ever want to lose you. No matter what. I'm not going to tell you everything now, just enough for now. More later when the time comes. I'm not hiding anything, but I do want you to come to the same conclusions I've reached, all on your own. And that means thinking things through a little at a time. I think I know what you want most from life, and from our marriage. But I'm not sure you know, yet.. Ruby did tell me about it, when she turned forty, but decided to stay living in her means. She didn’t lord it over me, simply reminding me who gave birth to me and changed my dirty diapers. At the time, we were and still are doing just fine.Phyllis, turns forty in five months, and seems eager. As does her good for nothing dip wad of a husband STEVEN, who seems too eager for her to turn forty.I did gain access, from Ruby, to see the money increase each year on a computer screen. Only the sisters.
