" It doesn't matter. You are safe now. We must look to your future. One of the things Carol emphasized tonight, and I agree, is that you must learn En...lish, right away! Carol and Earl suggested you travel with me, on some of my trips in the rig, and learn to speak English that way." I would like that," she said immediately."Yes, it's a good idea. But also, I would like it if you would take classes. They have classes called 'English as a Second Language, ' that you could go to, evenings." I will. Sat on the sofa and picked up a box, opened it, just to diffuse the "heat" between us. The box had some of my old books and pictures. The next thing I knew, we were both looking at old pictures and sharing stories about my c***dhood.We were seated next to each other as we talked and laughed.

All he said was ‘I wouldn’t kick her out of bed.’ That did not give you the right to break both of his legs and break his nose in three places.”Don’t oversell it Baby?The. I know I was out of limits. But it was not what I wanted to happen. I thought she was furious and not in a position to listen. I convinced myself that things will get better gradually and moved to my bed. I could not sleep that night and a few nights following that.She was avoiding me. That was hurting me. I waited for a few more days for a chance to talk to her. But the moment I went in front of her, she moved away to another room. I was equally angry at her for not letting me explain. She was.
