Tales From The Jessica Files – Absolute Time

"Yes, Robert, what is your toast that you would have us toast to?"

Robert says, "Here’s to the eve of the day which will never come, and here is to retreat to ease the pain," and I see four glasses out."

Jessica and I join everybody in the middle with a clank.

Robert said, "Thank you, sir, because we’re not here without you; we don’t exist without you. You know this to be true, and it’s not a dead horse because everyone feels the same. We are not anything."

"Robert, I know, and I understand… I’m so thankful we’re here tonight; this is a wonderful opportunity to spend time together…"

With that, Marvalious and Arturius stand up, followed by Megaton and Robert A Smith. Two gorgeous women entered the front door and headed straight to the table.

The brothers give their wives long, loving hugs.Jessica stood before I could, not just because of my shit-ass knees but because she was friends with the wives, a war widows group if you will.

Jessica says, "Lexi, Foxy, you bitches best be giving me a hug!"

That’s what happened.

It was so special and amazing to see the family together again and everything good in the world, and I was right to come together at the right time. I walked around the table to hug Foxy first and then to Lexi.

"Ladies, it is so wonderful to see you, and I’m so glad you’re here because we needed you."

Foxy said, "Punis, you’re not laughing, so why are you so glad to see us here?"

"Well, Foxy, We’re here to karaoke, and I remember somebody telling me sometime recently that somebody was something of a karaoke machine…"

I winked, the wink of all winks.
