When I looked up, she grabbed her bowl and sat back quickly. Apparently backing into Tom pretty hard. This must have made Tom spill his drink on him...elf, because his chin was all wet.Marcus, directed my attention back to our conversation.A little later I looked up and noticed that my wife had undone several of the buttons of her dress. It was hot in the bar, so that didn't surprise me in and of itself. What did surprise me was that her cleavage was showing to the point that you could see.
