I’m glad she was there to help us. It must be so hard for her to learn that the guy she likes is the monster who is behind a lot of this sex slave stuff. I mean, that can’t be a good thing to find out about your boyfriend.

But Norma seemed to take it well. She’s compassionate and understanding. Yes, she had her one freak out moment, but that was it. Even I was a little crazed. But then she was focused on taking care of the things at hand. Norma was good to talk me down. And she’s right. We don’t want to traumatize Jiao any more. We all want the best for her.

And we all deserve better. Jiao does. I do. Even Norma does. Her husband dies in a horrible accident leaving her a widow, then her boyfriend turns out to be a horrible person. But Norma is strong. I like that. She can take the crap that life gives her and deal with it.

Hey, I wonder if she’d like my Dad? I can’t even remember the last time he went on a date or even liked someone. Maybe I could hook them up. I could fix a nice dinner and invite both Norma and Norman over. I know I haven’t mentioned it here, but Norman slept with Bradley. In all the Jiao craziness, I completely forgot about it. But Norman doesn’t get it. I told him it was just a hook up, but he won’t talk to me about it. I’m worried he’s going to get hurt. Bradley is out of his league, and he doesn’t see that. It’d be good for me and Norman to have a nice time together.

Oh. But wait. If my Dad and Norma like each other and start dating and get married, then Norman would be my step-brother. And that means I would have kissed my step-brother and want to date him. Eww. That’s too weird. No dinner. I’m going to have to rethink this whole introduction thing…
