I was sorry her father wasn't nice and that I'd brought it up at all, although I wasn't sorry to hear she had been in the process of getting away from him. If he wasn't nice, then he didn't deserve to be able to take care of her, because Beverly was nice and she deserved someone who was kind to her in return.
"My father wasn't nice either," I offered. I had asked, after all, and I had brought up potentially painful memories. The least I owed her now was some information about my parents. "He liked to go to the pubs after work and he would get drunk and hurt my mother. We were going to run away from him with the money I made working for the book binder."
