About the Story

Not all the details in this story are true. The times some events occurred have been changed, and the conversations are made up.

Americans, like the Russians, no longer believe anything until it is officially denied. — Llewellyn Rockwell

She was unhappy. I'd made her unhappy. Making Jennifer unhappy was officially the worst feeling in the world, right up there with disappointing my brother Billy and seeing my sister cry.

She shook her head, sniffing, turning away from me to grab two cups.

"That's right. But with cookies."

"That sounds awful."

"At least you don't get crumbs on your shirt." I bit into the third cookie.
