In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator is at the laundry mat when her phone rings, it’s Kathleen, her estranged drug dealing daughter. The narrator was a meth addict for years, and her daughter was a meth dealer. When the narrator finally hit rock bottom, one of the things that had to happen was getting away from her drug dealing daughter.

She picks up the phone and her teenage daughter makes a strange request, she wants to move in with her older boyfriend, but he won’t agree to let her move in unless they are married. The narrator reluctantly agrees, lies to her husband, and has a friend drive her to the court house the next day to meet her daughter, and her husband. The narrator has doubts about the new husband, and about their future. She questions, however, what right she has to deny her daughter her request. Things come to a head when the police arrive and the truth comes out.
