A Little Excerpt

Summer 2012

Kevin Maggliardi and his girlfriend, Shanti Lee, just graduated from high school in Cranston, Rhode Island. The next day, they spent the afternoon and evening together. It was about 11 pm, and Kevin just drove into his driveway. His parents were expecting him around that time.

When Kevin walked in the house, he was giggling uncontrollably. His mom took notice.

“You alright, Kid?” His mom asked him.
“Mm-hm,” Kevin responded in between giggles.

Kevin went up to his bedroom and lay on his bed. He could not stop smiling and giggling uncontrollably. His dad came in to check on him.

“Hi Kevin,” his dad greeted him as he walked in.
“Hi,” Kevin replied, still lying on his back on his bed, giggling uncontrollably.
“How was your evening with the lady?”
“Good.”
“That’s good,” his dad, Umberto, said.
“She’s really cute. I love her,” Kevin stated.
“Yes, she’s pretty great. You chose well.”
“I had a good time.”
“That’s good. What did you guys do?”

Kevin thought about it for a split second, then he made some motions with his hands signaling pulling off a shirt. Then he made kissing motions with his hands. His dad was very amused by this.
