The Meeting
"You better behave yourself and make Mark like you or else, prepare to pack up your trash and get ready to move onto the cold, dirty streets!"

The well-mannered waiter led their way across the people and entered the VIP room through the silent, empty narrow hallway. And there they were, sat an aging but kind-looking couple and a young man around the age of 30 - the Darcys. She has never had nor allowed to think or to have interests in men but
