Greazy Will

Remember, she's wearing lingerie and everything.

He was a completely different person than the man I had sat with at the concert three hours earlier.

You bitch, he shouted.

I couldn't believe how mad he looked and worse than I'd ever seen him.

He was raving so loud that the veins in his neck were bulging blue.

I know your game, Veronica, he shouted.

You just want my money.

That is it, isn't it?

I was so scared that I got up and ran out of the bedroom and into the hallway.

If Phil was going to kill me, I wanted him to do it where there might be witnesses.

What's wrong, Phil?

What did your mother tell you?

The truth, he panted, that this whole marriage is about one thing, my money.

He was so mad he could barely catch his breath now.

Ronnie and her mother locked themselves inside a bathroom for hours, hiding from Phil's rage and unpredictable behavior.

Quote, my mother and I had been living on that pale blue carpet for over an hour when Phil finally wore himself out and went to bed.

After that, we got kind of drowsy ourselves.

I was just drifting off to sleep when I heard my mother sigh.

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, what did you marry?

I moved in close to her and I started to cry.
