And Layla. And some pretty woman she didn’t recognize. Not a working girl, she figured. Just a slut for the night.She took her usual seat at the end...of the bar. Joe arrived soon after. He sat fairly nearby. They gazed at each other.Joe ordered a bourbon soda. “And get the beautiful woman at the end of the bar another drink as well.”Raven immediately got up and stood beside him. “Have Tandy bring it to a table, Slim,” she said.“Yes ma’am,” said Slim.Joe managed to seat her at the table beside. “What are you doing walking around? You heard the doctor; he said no walking around for a while.” Confused, I replied, “What are you talking about? When did I see a doctor?” “Yesterday, remember? I called this doctor who still does house calls.” I think I said before that I was confused. “Wait, so what day is it then?” Roxanne replied, “Its Sunday about 6:30. C’mon on let’s get you back into the bed.” She helped me limp back into her room and sat me on her bed and she opened the blinds a little. . but I can't wait to spend the next few days alone with you." That makes two of us, Honey. I'm aching for you!" Carly looked up into Stephen's eyes before kissing him again."Should we open the champagne?"Well, we can have a glass if you want. But unfortunately we're meeting Bradley & Lorenz for a dinner meeting as you know." How could I forget? I won't be able to think about anything besides you naked in my bed while we're talking. And Bradley can sure talk. I guess we should leave it on ice. There was a brief silence."I'm sorry, Mom, I really am, but you don't have the authority to make me do that. I've really missed you. I'm sorry about how I treated you in the past and I really treasure having a good relationship with you now. I hope this doesn't mess that up, but I can't tell you." My little baby really has grown up," Lisa whispered. "I understand, honey. I'm glad; I remember a time that a promise would have meant nothing to you."That's when we heard the heartrending.
