’ Fern had stood, momentarily numbed, her back to him, scarcely able to comprehend the words he had spoken. Unbelieving she asked, ‘What…what d...d you say?’ ‘I want a divorce,’ he repeated, this time more firmly. The words cut into her like a dagger, she had turned and looked at him, struggling to find a response. Finally, she asked dully, ‘Who is she?’ ‘It’s Mandy.’ Mandy! Mandy was Fern’s closest friend, they had been almost like loving sisters since their high school days. They had even. She got up from behind the computer and went out through a door behind her. The door shut with a loud thunk!Kayleigh waited growing more and more agitated as the minutes passed.After about 5 minutes the other woman returned.“I’ve spoken to the duty executioner and he says they will make an exception if you can be ready right now. They’ve actually finished all the others, so you’ll need to go straight on down to the execution chamber and be stripped ready with your hair up, when you get. Then tell me."It was more than just obedience that made him run the thought through is mind. This morning had proved it for the hundredth time. If she wanted, she could expose him in this lingerie or in any of the other outfits he'd worn for her. Or she could share the many photos of his eager service. His life, his reputation and his career were in her hands."Yes Mistress, I know that I am yours completely." Good. It's good that you know it. Do you accept it?"The feeling swelling through him.

We have to get them down so we can record them, as well as be believable when we use them in the movie. We just won't tell anyone that they're getting a sneak preview of our sound track. It'll be interesting. That's for sure."Clyde's arranged for Charlie and his band to come to Sparta for the next two.
