The Twelve Lays of Xmas: Two Turtle Doves The following day was a long one, and to be honest I got a little distracted from Jessica’s present. One o... my clients was being difficult about a project that was supposed to have started on December 1st, and threatened now to make me work over Xmas. Luckily, there were subcontractors involved, and I was pretty much able to tell him that wasn’t going to happen. Then he wanted to be taken out to lunch, which I did. Then I had to go to pick up the CD Rom. I was just a little scared about the things to come but decided to take all of it with all the gallant deeds.It was a Monday and I got home at 3:00 pm from the school. I found masi's car already in the lawn as she has been having half day on Mondays by some unusual government rules. I came out from the cab in the lawn, there were three couples in it, holding each others' hands, I didn't recognized any of them.Aunty knew my schedule but still didn't made any approach to pick me up. I was still. I sat back and watched, this was the first time Daddy had done anything to Charlotte, though, he had spoken many times about taking her. He talked about waiting for the right time. He wanted to wait until after she knew the whole story. At first she'd gone a little crazy. After I had sat down with her and told her the truth, but now she excepted it and she excepted the way things were. It all started eighteen years ago. Momma had died and left Daddy and I alone. At first, Daddy wanted nothing. Whilst hewas waiting for the polish to dry, Nina selected a necklace and earringsfor him. The former was a delicate silver chain linked at his throat by atopaz stone. The earrings had a dangly teardrop shaped bead that matchedthe topaz colour. As was usual, the four girls fussing about him had keptAdam on the defensive, unable to question anything that they asked him todo. From this point, as usual the girls started to refer to himconstantly as Dina, having not used his own name at all prior to.
