the girls were seldom
dated for good reasons
- it required big money
- and if a young man
scored there was a risk
of his being accused of
making the girl pregnant
then forced to marry her
which would allow her
to move out of a large
and impoverished family
A mature teen girl moved
in next door - pretty and
shapely - the target for
a bull's eye - one willing
to play the game with
her own money and no
penalties in a steady date
until she returned from
a family vacation - in love
with - and pregnant by
- a 19-year old member
of a moneyed family from
a state hundreds of miles
away from target practice
