I guess it was that last little bit of "Bible Belt" upbringing, but I was disgusted, shocked, and not able to think rationally.I cleared my throat to ...et them know that I was in the room, and Janet opened her eyes. At first, she didn't seem to recognize me, but in a matter of seconds, she realized what I had just witnessed. She immediately started pushing Jim's head away, and after the second shove on his head, he came up for air and saw me standing there in Jamie's robe. This was obviously not.
