He owns the dry cleaners, and he's the one that helped my mom get her job with the state liquor board. It isn't just our little part of the family her... either. He has these kind of holds over all my uncles and aunts, even my mom's brothers. If he gets mad enough, he can bring a lot of pressure to bear on all of us."

She told me in a whisper she had prepared two bedrooms, but wanted to spend the first night in the house in the same bed with me.She took me by the hand and pulled me to her bedroom, and as I tossed my jacket on the back of a chair and made quick work of my tie, she asked me if I wanted to dance.Surprised, I asked her if she didn't think it was a little late at night for dancing.
