But I was too afraid of my parents!

It was still pretty early...

While I was changing my shirt, I damn near gave my kid sister Phoebe a buzz.

. she was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls, if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hands all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we won't quite till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.

I swear to god you'd like her ...

But i was too afraid my parents...

I went down in the elevator to the lobby... Except for a few pimpy looking guys, and a few whory looking blondes, the lobby was pretty empty.

I started giving the three witches at the table next to me the eye... Finally, the blonde one got up to dance with me...

There isn't a night club in the world you can sit in for a long time...
