Chapter 47: Chapter 47: MANCINI

I left his office and headed for my boat. I do some of my best thinking there and I had a fuck load on my mind. I didn't call her though I was tempted. She had a lot to deal with too. Life changing decisions that I was more than willing to make for her if she didn't come to the conclusion I want. But she was never far from my thoughts. Besides, I planned to have her in my bed tonight anyway, and if I could talk her into it, taking a few days off to spend with me.

I need to call ma, which I'd put off long enough. She's been good so far but unless I wanted her to encamp on my doorstep I'd better touch base with her soon. I'm pretty sure she knew I was back, because my brothers have bitch teeth and their wives are worse. Once I boarded the boat I headed straight for the phone and braced myself for the shaming I was sure was about to come and dialed her number.
