Shawna Freeman was annoyed that she had to go to DL's middle school, to pick him up. Lamarr wasn't being allowed to pick him up for her suddenly, there was some issue.
Shawna was reflecting as she drove.
She'd been 'with' Lamarr for several years now, and the glitter was long gone.
He'd been exciting at first, compared to the men she'd been seeing after her divorce. He had that element of street-wisdom, and he was forceful. She'd been enthralled, and then after Lamarr had moved in... he was a business owner in good standing, he had an excellent income... some things had slowly revealed themselves. Things that at first had been frightening, which then became a new flavor of exciting, and following that... she'd been drawn in.
