I saw that little blurb about Jesse meeting his wife when taking Daisy to rehab. Do you have a backstory fleshed out for Jesse's wife yet?
Yes, yes, yes and it’s coming verrrry soon 🤓 meet Miss Donna in ‘Patch it Up Baby’
Daddy taught him well enough how to cut a figure, and daddy was the reason why Jesse had any need to pretend nonchalance when calling home.
Home, he wants to scoff. Home is not Graceland while this fiasco lasted.
Home was Palm Springs and warm weather and privacy to figure out what the hell the rest of them were gonna do with their lives and if mama and daddy could still make it. Home, where mama could cook this last little one that precious few in the outside world knew was coming.
“I’m fine, mama.” he really is, now that he’s back to breathing. Breathing is good for one’s health. Jesse’s gonna keep it up. “Daisy is settling in alright, too.” he beats Mama to the question, glossing over some of the more queasy aspects of heroin rehabilitation. “T-the nurse here, uh, D-Donna, she uh, she said we oughta be over the worst of it. The uh, initial withdrawls and such.”
“Nineteen and sweet.” that’s daddy’s voice coming through the phone from a distance and Jesse starts to stiffen. “Does this Donna happen to be pretty, too, son?”
Jesse is back to grinding his teeth and it sends a spark of pain up his temple.
“Elvis!” His mama is honest-to-god tittering on the other end and it’s been such a while since Jesse heard that sound he suddenly feels like forgiving his daddy a few things just for that. Just for bringing that back. It makes his eyes sting.
“What?!” Donna asks him as Jesse keeps gazing at her with those big blue eyes and droopy pink lips as she turns the key and fidgets with the windows to get some air flow, “Am I gonna have to buckle you in?” she teases at the way he’s just melted into the seat, head leaned against the headrest and long limbs folded where they first flopped.
“Mmmaaybeee.” Jesse drags it out and giggles again .

Just Watched...
This is the perfect horror for newbies, about of the level of Poltergeist but, maybe not quite as scary.
A nice soothing ASMR watch made for a late-night insomniac who wants to drift to sleep to something compelling.
It feels very much like a throwback. And likely would have been rated PG back in the 70's and 80's but for the language.

The Exclamation Point
August 7, 1990
I watched a beautiful episode of the TV show “Family” tonight.
I loved it. Willie’s friend Zeke comes out as being gay to him. Zeke says “I still am allergic to strawberries. I’m still the guy that you always knew. The same. And, Zeke, like me, learned at age 13. He slept in the garden a few nights, at age 13, in hopes it (being gay) would go away. It didn’t.
Willie was furious. They were long time friends. They shared everything but he exclamation point (Zeke was gay)
This is why I have dropped Sam. So afraid that “knowing” I’m gay might hurt him. For, I believe that he, too, is of the" exclamation point." And, if so, that he is predisposed to self destruct over it. I never want to play Williie-Zeke roll with him. It’s best that in silence we just end it.
And yet, on other plains, my gay life blooms here and there. I come into my culture, or, we come into each other. And, how grand and how glorious it is. A splendid way of being, really.
End of entry
“Family” was a TV show that ran from 1976 to 1980. It was about a white family which included a son, Willie, who was probably in his late teens.
