Well, then I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck and the tears began to fill my eyes as I looked into his eyes and said softly, “I am sorry... I am so sorry..” Big tears began to roll down my cheeks as I said, “I am so sorry that I acted like a slut last night, a shameless slut. It was wrong. I won’t blame you if you don’t love me anymore or even if you leave me. I’m so ashamed.” Rob held me tight for a few seconds then he told me, “Annie, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I love you. Trying to relax, she controls her nervousness, the house silent around her, and the helpless woman finally dozes off.The woman's two sons and their two friends ride their bicycles up the driveway. They've come back to the house to get some cartoon videos everyone wants to see, so they only plan to run in to their room, grab the tapes, and leave again.When they enter the front door, one of the boys sees the note in their mother's handwriting pinned up in the entrance."Come upstairs to my room.. He thought again about the lies he had told her. There had been no six-month job up north, the diamond company was a figment of his imagination, and he wouldn’t have even considered taking up with Amber Newsom again, even if he knew where she happened to be. All that those lies had been intended to do was to present a semi-believable story to Dawn: a story to explain why he was breaking it off with her. He knew he couldn’t tell her the truth, because to do that would be to invite further. A lot of what they mighthave been doing I never really saw because I did care about the movies Iwas watching and I'd end up paying more attention to the film than whatmy mom was up to.A nice development from my mom and Maddy falling in love, was that whenRosalee and I were going to have a sleep over, then the two of themwould also sleep over. So all four of us girls would be together and itmade for a fun and cozy night for all of us. Sometimes in the morning,when Rosalee and I had awakened.
