The more she could understand what he did, the more they could do together, the better it would be.Jess had surprised everyone with her commitment to ...nly sharing sex with the man she would grow old with.

I wasn’t the one who got to travel to Europe.” I laughed as we walked, “So you know about that?” She slapped my arm as we walked, “Are you kidding me? Everyone knows.
