Debbie was still nestled with me when I awoke next morning. This closeness brought back fond memories of times with my sister: we shared a bed as youn...sters, cozying up together in that warm protective cocoon, keeping each other safe from the scary monsters that were out there in the dark. I wondered if Debbie was reliving similar reassuring times with her sisters.Debbie and I lay snoozing until the alarm went off. Then, it was toilette, dress, breakfast, and a mad dash off to our morning. .. "It's a long story, mom. But basically I just wanted to get away from New York and get away from the news cameras for a little while." Well, thank you for telling me you were leaving the country. What was I supposed to think? One minute, I believe my son is just an hour's drive away from Westchester, close by in case I'm dying of a heart attack. The next minute, I find out from the news that he was gone across the world for a week! What if I needed you?" Mom... don't be melodramatic."Like my. "Please don't tell them I suggested that you do thisto me." For some reason at that moment, having my brothers know that Iwillingly gave up my freedom seemed a lot more humiliating to me thanhaving them think this was forced on me."Don't worry," Mom said. "I'll tell them that this was my idea. Maybe apunishment for something." Mommy, could you maybe move my legs together a bit?" Why, is it uncomfortable like that?" Well, no, but I'm worried it looks bad. I mean, you know... too sexy. Ifeel. You two, always out in the open!”Triss shrugged. Jen sat up and laughed. Jacob grinned, gave Samantha a playful slap on the ass, and shoved her. Samantha squeaked as she fell, landed on Jennifer, and on Triss at that, one of her hands planting into Triss’s abs.“Jacob, you fucking asshole,” Triss said, rolling her eyes.She expected Samantha to get up instantly, embarrassed as she was. But she didn’t. Samantha gulped, looked Beatrice straight in her snake eyes, before her gaze drifted down over.
