I opened the envelope
the second I got home.
1:28:19
It was a check for $680.
More than he actually owed me.
1:28:25
It occurred to me
to tear up the check, but I didn't.
1:28:28
I felt like I was doing
the right thing.
1:28:31
And I didn't tell anybody
about any of it.
1:28:35
I pretended to go
to work as usual,...
1:28:38
and watched his office
from across the street.
1:28:42
He hired a new girl and
changed the locks on the doors.
1:28:48
There was just nothing
for me to do about it.
1:29:01
My doctor at the
institution once said,...
1:29:05
'Every journey begins
with the first step.'
1:29:08
So I decided it was time
to meet someone new.
1:29:14
There was one who tried
to grab and pinch my nipples...
1:29:17
before we even
made it to his car.
1:29:20
Hi.
1:29:21
Another guy kept ordering me
to pee on his patio...
1:29:24
and when I refused, he said...
- I thought you were a masochist.
1:29:28
Then there was the one who liked
being tied to a gas stove...
1:29:31
while the burners were on
full blast.
1:29:33
I had to throw tomatoes at him.
- Thank you.
1:29:36
For a while I stopped trying
and stayed at home...
1:29:40
helping Dad adjust
to his new sobriety.
1:29:43
Until one day,
out of the blue,...
1:29:47
Peter proposed marriage to me
in the basement of J.C. Penney's.
1:29:53
I think I said yes because
I didn't know what else to do.
1:29:57
I guess I was a little lighter
than you in those days.
