My God, Tommy, how lucky can a guy get to be in a position to write lines such as these: "Having one girl who I knew wanted me, allowing/encouraging me to kiss another girl who seemed to want me as well. It didn’t go any further that night, but those kisses planted a seed."

The gods were no doubt smiling on you, leading you someplace you had to go, (to 'Corina, Corina', to quote Mr Dylan) away from your violent mother. This is a fine, realistic love story, wonderfully told.

I'm so impressed by your ability to go back and write about stuff like this. It's totally terrific.
