"Hello?" "...." "Oh hi Honey, are you ok?" "...." "Yes they are fine" "....." "Hes at work and the other two are at summer school" "......" "Me? Im al... alone watching a my favorite movie" "...." "Don't worry about me!, It's not like im going to have sex with someoneelse besides you while your gone!" "....." "Ok Honey, You have a nice day at work, Ill see you tomorrow" I was aware of the phone call but I was way to busy enjoying the best birthdaypresent In the world that I was completely. First from Ellie, then Vella. Something wasgoing on and I would be the last to know. Vella fed me a few more creamychips and accompanied us to the clinic.Dr. Woyczek met us there and showed me the crowns. They looked greatfrom color to finish. "These are better than the real thing. You will beeating apples and steaks with ease and yes you will even be able towhistle again. Now open up and let me remove the gauze before we getstarted." Once the gauze was removed, he said he was very impressed. "There's no way for me to pay for it," he explained.Cindy couldn't understand. Oh she'd heard about Bernie Madoff and others like him, but she was so far removed from such things that she had a difficult time comprehending what Charlie was telling her."But can't you get some kind of scholarship or something?" she asked, worriedly."I never needed one before, and didn't apply. Maybe I can for the next semester."Charlie tried to reassure her that he was certain he could work something out, but. "I told him he was insane, but Fred isn't giving up and he keeps texting me about it." Do you want to do it?" It's really weird, and I wouldn't want to do it without Susan's permission, but I do want to do it, if it's okay with you." Well, then ask him to get Susan's permission and go for it. My only condition is that you must keep some evidence as proof." Nothing happened for the next two weeks and I began giving up on it. Then, one evening, I came home from work and as always I start reading.
