I knew of just one family member, Lee’s brother, Jerry. He was out there somewhere, so I began the search. I suppose I could have just taken the ass...ts that dropped in my lap, there is a lot of it. After all, Lee had made me the Personal Representative of the estate. She trusted me. I found the records for stock funds, bank accounts. There was annual checks coming in from a big Casino win. A home in Reno, another in Portland, vehicles, yes a lot of it. I tried the internet, no luck. I searched. I had no bad intentions towards her. Just before two days i went there in morning as usual. Her daughter went to her husband’s house for vacations and my aunty was sleeping as she takes sleeping pills and pain killers. Suma was there in the kitchen preparing foods.I called her and she came out and saw me and asked. Have you had your breakfast?No didi, I’m starving.Oh come with me i will give u foodI went in with her, she gave me food and i started to eat. Then i asked her‘didi, did u eat.’She. You have no idea how much that means to me.”She leaned over and whispered in his ear, “I left my number on the table. Give me a call when you get home. I’d like to see you again, if that is okay with you. You’re a good man.”Jeff looked at her silhouette knowing that most people didn’t see the loving woman encased within a body that wasn’t attractive. He knew better than to judge by appearances. Terry had held his hand through the first night in the hospital, providing comfort to a scared man. “Good girl. And I think you’d better lose the panties. A nice girl like you can’t be walking around with wet panties on.”He held his hand out and I meekly eased out of my lace underwear, depositing the damp scrap in his hand. He pocketed it unceremoniously.“Don’t forget, Ally. You do everything I say.”*Everyone was ready. Everything was ready. Of the guests who’d confirmed they were attending, about half were from out of town and were planning to head straight to Coney Island. The rest of us.
