Clarisse Heard a banging on her door. She had a feeling as to who it was. "Come in".
Charlotte burst thorough the door, mascara running, make-up smudged. Just an all
around mess. Clarisse could tell the young woman had been crying so she opened her
arms and Charlotte flew into them. Clarisse slid to the floor and held the young woman
who sobbed and shook violently as she cried. Clarisse could do nothing but hold her and
wisper soothing sounds. After about 30 miniutes Charlotte wiped her face and asked
Clarisse one question, "Why"? Clarisse thought about it and honestly couldn't answer
Charlotte. Then she thought about it and she noticed that there was only one reason.
"Love". Charlotte put her head back on Clarisses shoulder and sniffed. "He lied to me
because he loves me"? "Charlotte, Jospeh is a good man he wouldn't hurt you
intentionally, both you and I know that. He saw that you were happy in the life you were
leading and as much as he wanted to tell you he just couldn't. He saw that you were fine
thinking that your father was a respectable man who'd died in a car crash and he just
wanted you to be happy even if he wasn't. He just wanted you to be happy. He just
wanted you to be happy". Clarisse comforted the young woman in her arms until
Charlotte fell asleep then she had Shades carry her to her room. She wipped a stray tear
from her eye and fixed her hat and went to find Joseph. If she knew him there was only
one place he would be.

She stood in her garage in the place where her Lambergini should have been. She
shook her head, "He's gonna smash himself and my car into a wall". She sighed with
relief as she heard the car scream as it turned the corner. She stood there hands firmly
crossed on her chest and one hip pointed out but still standing at her full regal hight. He
stopped the car and reved the engine. "That's supposed to scare me"? He turned off the
car and got out she could tell he'd been drinking. He stumbled out of the car and
shlumped against the car. She stepped over to him and hugged him like both their lives
depended on it. Then for the first time in her life in all her 60 something years of knowing
him she saw Joseph Calvera cry.
