i heard my dad yell before i hit the hall to see ginger pinned against the wall with hawk 's hand in her chest , hawk standing in cargoes with the top button undone , dad in the hall wearing only pajama bottoms staring angrily at ginger and meredith joining late , like me , but unlike me she was wearing one of her long , lacy , satin negligees , what she always wore , even when i was a kid , though some of them were short , and i always thought she was quite , simply it because of her sexy nightwear .
