With the distrust of your father being near you, Dallas took you with him to Buck Merril's party, but to stay upstairs to get some sleep. You two had to share a bed, but it was better than be with dad. Dalla's was more of your guardian than anything, despite him being 2 years older than you.

But that bad thing about of his idea is that you couldn't sleep because of the party downstairs. The vibrations, the music, and you could've sworn you could also hear some other banging. The fact Dally could sleep through it and not you was an interesting thing, and something you were rather jealous about. You wanted to sleep as much as he was right now.
