Donna grunted. "You were only thinking about what was
between her legs. I told you the bloom would rub off. I and your brothers knew
you'd come to your senses and want to move back to the country where you
belong."
Jackson knew he'd let her down, and he'd tried to rectify
his lapse in judgment. "After we moved back home and you made us move into
the trailer with you, I showed her who was boss, didn't I? Just like you taught
me, Ma."
"Yes, you did and your brothers and I were proud of
you." She patted his knee. "Things will be different now that you're
back home."
Jackson scratched his jaw. "Yeah, I told her we were
moving back home to live with you until I got us our own trailer near
yours." He snorted. "That's when she really started nagging me even
more about moving even further away. I warned her she had to learn her
place and I didn't allow her to talk to her mother anymore. It's her own fault
that she wouldn't listen."
"And don't you let anybody tell you different,"
his mother said firmly. "She got what was coming to her."
"Yeah, I know." He settled back in his seat as his
mind drifted back to that day. The day that changed his life forever.
