When we got into the_______to go home, his father suddenly appeared._______, he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often_______me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant_______or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his_______me and we often quarreled.
