      THE YEARNING IN MY HEART! This was a long time ago.

      “Can’t go inside with you, Krista. But I promise: I won’t drive away until you’re safe indoors.”

      There are those of us—daughters—forever daughters, at any age—for whom the smells—likely to be twin, twined—of tobacco smoke and alcohol are not unpleasant but highly attractive, seductive.
