Yes. Let's go to the TV room."They sat on a small sofa, the same one where Ashe had sat on her father's lap first time she watched this same movie. Li...y leaned against Ashe a little, bare arm to bare shoulder, the smallest square inch of skin to skin contact. It was the first time they had ever been so close. It was hard to gauge Lily's reaction to the film. As the movie neared its end Lily asked, "Will the doctor hang himself?" Why would he do that?" Because that's what my father did."Ashe. Got it?”She nodded. He was already gone by the time Mindy thought to remind him that The Hermit might not want to take his pants off in front of her.She was right. He tried to pull his pants leg up, but then winced again.“It’s stuck on something,” he said.The curtain was whisked aside by a new doctor. He had a nurse with him.“I’m Doctor Foster. I’ll be taking a look at your leg.” He stared down at the bloodied pants. “Let’s get you on the table,” he said.The doctor may be forgiven for assuming. I now felt sure of that.We had been commuting in my truck for over a month when one day, a group of boys including myself, were talking about girls. One of the boys was Paul Higginson, the same one that Vicky had told me about; he was new to our school having just arrived in September. Jimmy Parker had just explained that he knew for a fact - he had seen it with his own eyes - that Linda Carstair had let Pat Lockwell fondle her breasts on the bus. Then Paul who at the time didn't know that. Jennie was actually relieved because she thought that Mike might have slammed the door in her face, if he had answered."Hi Mrs. Sweeney. Is Mike available?" Come in dear, I'll get him for you. Aren't you the Taylor's daughter, Jeanie?" Jennie. Yes, I am." I shop in your mother's store all of the time. How is she?" They're both fine, thank you." Well, I better go get Mike for you. Why don't you go and make yourself at home in our living room, dear?"Jennie walked into the large Sweeney living.
