Thanks for reading!

The Chicken Shack was located several miles outside of town, and when Tommy
slipped on the greasy floor, he guessed that the business specialized in fried
chicken. They seated themselves at a booth with a scarred Formica tabletop that
needed a good washing. Undeterred, Nikki took a paper napkin from the holder on
the table and wiped away the rings left by the previous occupants' glasses.

"I hope you don't mind sitting beside Michael," she said. "It's easier to talk
if you and I are facing each other."

"I don't mind. Michael and I are buddies." He turned to Michael and asked, "Did
you like what Santa brought you?"

"I sure did. It was the best Christmas ever."

Teddy snickered. "You said that last year."

"I did not!"

"Yes, you did."

A loud and lively conversation broke out. It took Nikki a few moments to quell
the riot. Good. The noise had made his ears ring.

Nikki propped her elbows on the table and frowned at Teddy who looked ready to
argue. "I wish that Dan was here. He can always make the boys mind. All he does
is give them a look, and they behave just fine. I think it's because he's a man.
Boys respond to a man better than a woman."

Privately Tommy hoped that he, too, would be able to compel the respect of
Nikki's boys, for that's what made the children obey Dan, respect.

Michael tugged on Tommy's sleeve. "Mister? Hey, Mister."

"What do you want them to call you?" interrupted Nikki.

"They can call me Tommy."

"You interrupted me," Michael complained.

"Go on then."

Michel did so. "Are you going to be our daddy?"
