After grabbing hold of my bag and jacket I ran out the door and as he closed it behind me he watched me walk over towards the car, once the front door...was locked he walked over towards me, opened the door to my side of the car and cracked his hand on my butt, wow, oh boy it sent tingles right through my body and with the biggest smile on my face, I got into the car and awaited him to join me, I once again watched him walk around the outside of the car, the smile on his face still as big as can. Jenny suggested that Ted go to the rental unit and settle in. He might want to drive up and down Gulf Boulevard to familiarize himself with the area and the stores that were there. He could also drive to downtown St Petersburg just to see what was there. She said the office opened at nine and when he comes in tomorrow she will show some of the listings they have on the types of properties they discussed.Ted left the office and did what Jenny had suggested. Finding the rental condo was easy.. Even so, this was a woman I could feel myself getting anxious about, even as I knew that was really unfair to her, probably really unfair to Dave ... maybe pretty unfair to me. And also really unhelpful, given that we had a business to run.So I hauled Seffi away from her investigations and got her to go over everything that had happened since I'd been away, all the e-mails, all the phone calls, all the speculations and gossip that she'd managed to dig up. Seff, of course, kept really detailed. Oh my, I would indeed miss them. But I could not be around the cheaters not on any level. And a cripple and ugly: the kids would distance themselves from me in the end without the two of them even having to try to keep me at arm’s length. No, the children were lost to me too.The man had money. I could envision the possibility that she would be trying to hunt me down when she found out that I hadn’t signed the divorce papers. I’d made up my mind about that; no contact that was the ticket. I.
