"Dad, how about a cup of coffee?" Edie asked as she lit up a cigarette. That must have been a shocker for Frank. He didn't know she smoked.
Frank paid Betty and Edie said she would call her when she got to the hotel. Hugs and good-byes were in order and doubled from Susan because of the doll.
On the way to the hotel, Frank had to remind Edie how foolish she was for leaving the farm. At least she'd had a home for Susan and herself. What was she thinking? What is she going to do now?
"Its going to be hard living on the child-support from Jim of $44.00 a month for Susan. You should have asked for alimony." Frank lamented. "You know, he's living with that 'woman' now. I hear she's got some dough...got it from a nice divorce settlement and has a good job." Frank continued. "What do you have? I am telling ya. You should have asked for alimony."
"I don't want anything from Jim." Edie was getting annoyed with Frank and changed the conversation.
"Where is the hotel? I have to go to the ladies room."
