The club was called "The Scene" and it was jumping. There was a line around the block already, and the place had just opened. As he was heading toward... the line, he saw his friend Eric who yelled and waved to him."Hey Joe, over here." Hey, Eric, thanks man." No problem. Sorry about the work and the girlfriend." Thanks. I'm thinking losing the job was worse than losing Becky." Yeah. I'm not going to lie; she's tried to hit on me a couple of times." Figures as much. I'm not mad at you, just. “Yes, sir...” the sales boy mumbled, as he hastened up the stairs, probably happy that he could attend to a lady customer, instead the men whom he usually had to attend to. As the sales boy went up, the store manager turned to me, and said in his inimitable designed-to-please style “In fact, only yesterday I was telling Sapna that it has been many days since Jignesh bhai paid a visit to our store...” smiling broadly at me.I muttered something in response, as I began to walk around the display.

John came to me and hugged me. "Go to Pam, please."I went over to Pam. She had been crying and it hadn't been from joy. "Sandy Mom, please hold Johnny. He needs to feel your love again." I took Johnny. He had been crying.I said, "Johnny be good, Smile for us, please." I sat down next to Pam and Julie came to stand with us.I looked over to see John and Ned standing.
