She had killed someone. She had been diagnosed with a fatal illness… ‘I can’t promise that,’ I responded, ‘but I can promise that my love f...r you will never change.’ Another long silence passed between us, with Enya once again providing the buffer. ‘I’m a lesbian, Daddy.’ While unexpected, that statement filled me with relief. ‘So? Are you happy and comfortable with that? Do you believe that being a lesbian is right for you?’ She simply nodded upon my shoulder. ‘Then that’s all that. You already know that stuff - think of the advantage you’ve got!”“Oh, God, I think I’m going to cry again,” said Babs, who scurried off to the bathroom. Harry stared after her, at a loss for words.

But be warned, I make it very spicy.”I smiled at Brie and replied, “If it isn't too much trouble for you, I would love to taste your spicy, seafood paella. I will bring the wine, if you will allow me to.”“Of course you may, Gil,” Brie answered.The bartender returned with a tray of shot glasses and a glass of red wine. I paid for the drinks and said to Brie, “I have to get back to my table. It was a pleasant surprise running in to you. Perhaps we could chat again, later on in the evening?”Brie.
