From Chapter 22
It is hard to
believe that Al is Leanne’s father. Leanne is beautiful. Even on the hastily
taped video message, she is drop dead gorgeous. Al is not. Ugly doesn’t quite
apply, because the guy smiles so much it somehow counteracts his big, lumpy
nose, his oversized ears, his bulbous, insect-like eyes, his bumpy complexion, and
the absence of any trace of a chin. He looks like the offspring of a fly and a
gorilla. How he could have fathered Leanne is a mystery to Luke.
But what a nice
guy! Luke had been expecting a smarmy, abusive, womanizing brute. Instead, Al
turned out to be friendly, jovial, always grinning, and caring. He asked about
not just Leanne, but also Luke’s aunt and uncle, and Luke himself. Al had promised
to help in any way he could. After talking to Al, Luke felt for the first time
in a while that things might turn out okay.
