I didn't really see it, I just saw mom. She insisted on calling me every other week to see if I needed or wanted anything, that or talk for a while. M...st of the time, I think she was a little lonely, which I didn't really get that much. She was seeing some douche bag from a few doors down. Jimmy, his name was, was a few years older them me at twenty-three. He kind of looked like me except for his arm sleeve tattoos and the way he dressed, all baggy and white trashy. I had seen him around and. ‘Shhhh. Shhhh.’ he comforted her. ‘Whatever it is, it will pass. Shhhh. I know that’s not much consolation now, but remember it. Shhhh. Would you like me to find someone to take you home?’ Suzanne shook her head, not trusting her voice. He knelt up, put his arm across his shoulder and she rested her head on his chest again. She felt herself calming down, with only occasional shudders and hiccups of breath shaking her body. James kept murmuring in her ear and she found the buzz of his voice. She took ‘em off and I handed her a tiny silk bath robe and told her to put it on. She did and I said, now go get your sorry fat ass in the truck, she looked at me for a few seconds, but went on out and got in the truck like I told her to do. I followed her outside, got in and drove us both over to the dairy farm. We pulled out on the road and she said where we going baby? I said, you’ll see just shut the fuck up and be happy I brought your fat ass! We got to the farm, I pulled up to the. They will be playing hard to show us up if they can so I don't want you to take it lightly or we'll get embarrassed on home ice. On the other hand, we will be putting in a few extra rookies and giving a few people some rest this week. So, Frank and Sam will integrate the rookies into our lines and D pairings this morning and we will practice with the new lines the rest of this week."Frank and Sam took over and I walked back to the bench and left to find Chris. We hooked up in the training room.
