I walked into the clubhouse and looked around. Men were at tables playing cards or dominoes. My dad and Uncle Rockstar were playing chess in a corner. Uncle Beast and Uncle Dozer were playing pool. My Aunt Becs was behind the bar with a Prospect handing out beers and hard liquor. Mom, Kali and Edith were in a corner with Nana Kiki, all making blankets out of yarn. They called them chunky blankets. My mom wanted to sell them at the next rally coming up. All the other women were scattered around talking. I didn’t see Ally anywhere.
My dad called me over.

“Thanks Dad.”
“Cameron, she did well, she didn’t fall apart. She seemed lighter.”
I nodded. He only called me Cameron when he was being real seriou
