This week the track at her high school was dead because it was Spring Break. It was a strange feeling, like we were the only two people in town, but t...at is also a very liberating feeling.As I came around the corner Jenny was well ahead of me. I know she saw me reflected in the dark windows of the gym at the end of the track, but she started walking towards the building without looking back. I didn't mind because I like watching her short black ponytail swish over her neck. Everything about. Caroline leaned back.“How long have you and Daddy been married?” she asked.“Seventeen years,” said her mother. “You know that.”“And how did you two meet?”“Our parents were friends,” said her mother. “You know that, too.” Caroline had heard that story at family reunions.“And how old were you when you got married?”“Caroline, just because I got married too young, and had you too young, doesn’t mean you should follow in my footsteps. Especially since there is no father of this baby for you to. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't let my feelings jeopardize the well being of Rainbow Central. Being the Mayor was my number one priority, and I couldn't mess that up. I didn't want to end up like all of the other politicians, who screw up and tell lies to cover up the stupid things they did. I didn't want to be followed by the paparazzi and have them catch me doing things I shouldn't be doing. It wouldn't be fair if I released some of the bitches, but not all of them. Although, maybe I. A burden. Many families spend most of their time worrying about making ends meet. We will never have to do that. What we need to do is make the best use of what we have."I looked at her. I couldn't help but love this woman. She was so grounded ... so level-headed. Plus, it was all beyond my control. I leaned over and kissed her gently and she responded in kind. I sat back in the lounge seat, undoubtedly with a satisfied smile on my face.The news broke Monday morning when the RCMP held a press.
