Mrs. Foley is a very kind landlady, but she doesn’t like me staying out until 2 am. so when I arrive home at the boarding house, I tip toe to my room.
It’s none of her business of course, but I cannot afford to lose this place, so I try to keep her happy. But it’s not easy.
Fridays, I join my co-workers for karaoke. I’m 23, single, and love to sing. When I sing something sexy, all the fellas line up to buy me a drink and I lose track of time.
Daddy always said I was a wild child.

Dear Dawn,
I agree with Neil. She’s headed down a slippery slope as the saying goes. Nicely done.

I agree with Neil. Looks like she’s headed for trouble unless maybe the head of the boarding house sits down and has a long talk with her. Nice jump right into this character’s life.

As long as she knows where to draw the line, I think she’ll be OK, but who knows – the Landlady may have a point.
