I’m just floatin’ here, Frank. Took you long enough. I guess maybe if the boys who did this thought it would be any sooner they might not have done it. Haven’t seen you since the show at Sister Louisa’s, by the way. You really rocked those pumps. Do me a favor and give all mine to Jessie, would you? Aw, Frankie, don’t cry. It didn’t hurt all that much. The words hurt more, and we get those all the time. I was real brave. I think I want the girls to know that. I love you. Please don’t be sad.
