Once she's dressed Enid stands in her room her father in the room just next door laughs softly her mother giggles soft not weeping or slap sounds or father bellowing just laughter and giggling Enid opens up her door and they're there at the large wood table sitting close are you out? Father says eyeing her if I may Enid says with Benny? Father says Enid nods if I can her mother stares at her (no black eyes or bruised lips no redness on her cheek) Enid feels anxious now will he slap or whack her as he had a while back? must be good no mischief Father says and he smiles his huge hands that once hit or slapped her just wave her on her way not late though Mother says so unreal Enid thinks this kindness this calmness not be late or naughty Enid says she goes out anxiously once before he would grab and hit her bruise an eye spank her hard as she leaves the front door there's laughter and giggling and new sounds of kissing she goes out in the Square to see if she's lucky Benny's there.
