“No. She went to the emergency room but
they sent her home after a couple of hours. She’s just extremely
ill. Plus the places where she was stung are very painful.”
“And where’s Jon?” asked Carmin, turning to me.
“He made previous plans to see "Superman II," but he’s
planning to stop by afterwards.”
We sat down. My dad and Carmine immediately got
into a discussion about his plans for the band. I listened for awhile,
but since I’d heard most of it already I let my mind wander.
I started looking around the room. It was a club
like any other club. Like the club where Carmine and I first met.
But there was something different tonight. Maybe it was just Carmine’s
enthusiasm. And, like I always did when I was around him, I started
thinking about us.
