"I was back in "our" bedroom when I said that. Pat grinned at me. "You don't have to wear clothes for my sake. I like you naked." I don't think Dad wo...ld be interested in looking. Get dressed, my adorable hussy. We need some breakfast to rebuild our energy." We dressed and walked out arm in arm.Dad was in the kitchen with coffee. We went to the pot and I poured one for Pat and then one for me. Pat said, "Have you had breakfast yet, Dad?" Not yet. I was waiting for you love birds to get out of. And it had been easy! He had convinced her that it was certainly one way she could even the score with her husband. At this point, she wasn't sure how many times she had evened things up.

In my depressed and sleep deprived condition, I was confused as I saw the sweep of headlights through the window, before a car came to a stop in our drive.Before I realized what was happening, I saw Sue exiting the car and striding towards our front door. My heart leaped with joy. She’d come home. It was all going to be okay. I got up to go and greet her but was too slow as I heard the sound of her key in the lock and the door opening.I tried to compose myself and waited, my stomach turning. "I held a hand of Etta and Jane and said, "You two have committed to me and these other ladies. They want you to be a part of our crazy family."Turning to Etta, "I give you this ring as a sign of our mutual love and commitment to each other and our family. You have brought me two daughters that I will forever cherish, Etta. You have also brought me some peace over the loss of my mother, father, and sister. That connection had been lost and I'm now at peace. I love you, Etta."We kissed so.
