Donny had a job as a hot man for the mob, it was something that he was very good at. There was just that he wanted someone in his life. Someone to share things that he had seen, and to help with any problems he might have. He was seen as the man that you just did not want to mess with. It was something that he kept to himself that he longed for that one women in his life. He knew that there was someone out there but it was just hard to find someone, when they found out what he did they would leave him.

There was one lady that he would see when he went to the place where the mob would eat all of the time. She was the manager there. Tommy sometimes thought about asking her out. It was just that if she said no that he would still have to see her. So one night he got the nerve to ask her out for the first time she said yes. It was the start of something great for Tommy. For the first time in his life he was truly happy. Brittany was the one that he was waiting for all of his life, now that he had her in his life he would love her with all of his heart.

It was the risk that Tommy had to take to get that one person that he could truly love for the rest of his life. It is something that you have to do sometimes. To throw caution to the wind and go after than one person, and know they are the one that will be the part that is missing in your life.
