“We don’t do that on this side of the water.”“Sorry, sir,” she said quietly, almost doing it again.“Don’ you spoil ‘em, y’big galoot...” my sometimes-friend cried, slapping my shoulder. “I ain’ even broke ‘em good and proper.”Behind the girl, another appeared, dressed and looking much the same, rather wan and a bit frightened. “This is Becky, Rebecca,” the first girl said. “My sister.”She bobbed up and down and how-dee-doed me. I put a crown on the counter and shepherded both of them off to a. She had long felt that she could be open with me but this apparently was something she was nervous about. She was like Floyd, she didn’t want anything to be against my will or mutual interest and acceptance. “Lauryn …”, but she stopped.I moved closer to her, took her into my arms and hugged her, then separated my face to be in front of hers, and I looked into her eyes.

I kid you not, I was so shocked at her sudden appearance in front of me that I rocked backwards, and nearly fell off the ledge. She giggled.

We ran into you in the lobby of her dorm.”“Excuse me I’m a leeettlle drunk, and I can’t remember.”“Hahaha it’s fine. We’re all a little drunk here, and it’s not like we talked.

My long-time girlfriend wanted nothing to do with me after she found out I had.
