Sandy breathing hard.“Calm down, this will work – I know it will.” Sandy and I sat next to each other and cuddled up, holding hands. Carol was smiling; this ‘relationship idea’ was her baby.Her parents came in, and Sandy and I stood up, me with my arm around her.Her parents looked at us, wondering what was going on. We all sat back down.“Mr. and Mrs. Steiner,. "Bye!"Rory and I continued to drink and chat until we got hungry. We had somefood delivered and ate in front of the TV, then helped ourselves to onefinal beer."There's something I need to tell you," I said, putting the TV on mute andturning to face my brother."What is it?" he seemed to sense it's something a bit more serious."You know the job I was doing? I was fired... bout six months ago." Shit." With everything going on, I didn't wanna tell Mom and Dad. I've beenbartending in the meanwhile,. " Anyway," I said.
