Charlie smiled at her silly giggle. “Like wow!” She fanned herself. “Where did you guys meet?” “Suzie Norman, I cannot believe how well you are taking this.” “Charlie!” She whacked his shoulder playfully. “Sherlane and I are going to college in the big city now. We meet all kinds of people. Dad didn’t teach us to hate nobody.” “No. He did a good job raising you two.” Charlie squeezed her hand. Just then, he noticed a man standing near them. Charlie leapt to his feet and gaped at Roman, who was wearing his clothing, and everything was tight on the big man. Suzie spun around to look. “Charlie…we need to talk.” Roman appeared very nervous, and Charlie knew why. “Join us.” Suzie gestured to the open chair.
