(Historical Notes: Okay, one OTHER reason why I didn’t work this scene in was because I already had pages 493 & 494 doing more or less the same thing as this, only hitting even harder.  Obviously, doing this flashback before Layla brought up her Dad and got sad about would really have lessened the impact of that scene, but showing it afterwards would feel kinda redundant and pointless.  And the lack of a point is already a major problem, as hinted by the lack of any “present day” narration once again.)
