It won't be quite right with you squashed into this bra, but it will be a start." She tried, but couldn't hold her hands still long enough to wrap the...tape around Karen's bust. She made three or four abortive attempts, feeling as if she was wearing boxing gloves."Shall I hold one end for you?" No, I'll be all right. I just ... need ... to... there... !" I'm trying not to breathe! I'm holding myself in. Tell me when I can let it go."Veronica couldn't read the numbers. She had to pinch the tape. I timed my approach so that I would bump his elbow just as he tipped the glass ta his mouth. My timein' was perfect, an' the whiskey sloshed down his front instead of inta his mouth.That really pissed him off, but I pretended ta apologize an' offered ta buy him another drink ta make up fer the one he had spilled. Well, that seemed ta be all that was needed ta trigger his mean bullyin' instincts. He punched me in the upper chest with his finger an' let me tell ya, I felt every bit of it. God, he. " I said with a knot in my stomach."Geoff... we have to talk. Let's go into the kitchen. I need a glass of water." she said in a serious voice, but at no time looking right at me."Joyce... are you all right? What's the trouble?" I was getting quite worried because I had never seen her like this before.Joyce poured herself a glass of water and sat at the kitchen table, still not looking at me. I sat down opposite to her and waited for her to tell me what she obviously wanted to tell me."Geoff.... You have nothing to be jealous of. Besides, who did I wake up next to, when I clearly could have been with her since the day you saw us?" He defended."I know. I just like to watch you squirm. Speaking of squirming, go take a shower and come back and see me." She said as she slid under the covers.Joel gladly jumped from the bed and headed for the stall outside the big bathroom with the Jacuzzi. Five minutes later he was back drying off beside the bed.She took down the covers and patted the bed.
