"I'm not doing this just because asked me. I'm doing it for all of us."
"Huh?"
"I can't speak personally for all the girls but..." She began to tear up and then she rushed over and put her arm tightly around me and kissed me on the cheek. "Thank you! Thank you!"
"For what?" I could hardly breath she was hugging me so tight and I could feel her tears soaking into my much abused suit coat. She said something more but the cloth muffled her voice. "What did you say?"
"Your invention."
"Come again?"
She pulled back just enough to look into my face but no more. We stood groin to groin. "Jack said when you make the next batch of that wonderful stuff you might share it with me and my girl friends. Oh Frank you can imagine how wonderful that would be. To be complete. Made whole."
"Ah-he said that?" She jerked her head in agreement.
