I was relaxing in the ac when the door rang, and as I opened the door, Jesse' friend Sara was there, smiling a usual and walked right in, saying hi as...she walked by and ran up to Jesse's room. Moments later both girl came down in their bathing suits; Jesse in her new skimpy suit and Sara in one nearly the same. I tried to look away as they laughed and giggled and went out on the deck to our pool. I sat there and fought the idea of going to look but gave in and went to the window. I saw both. We both knew that given our family history and given the difficulties we would face with Dawn and with Brooke and how our relationship would impact those friendships that you and I could NOT be together unless it was going to be for REAL. You were always ready for that, always knew that once you had me you were never going to let me go. -I- was the one that needed more time to get over my past, but I did. You are not a rebound. You are the relationship I chose, and I did so knowing it would. ."He looked at her and then picked her up again. She started to squeal, but he ignored her. He then sat down on the sofa and lowered her to his lap. "This is even nicer," he said softly.Jill had started to laugh. Bob picked her up as easily as Pete had picked up Jan.

"This is fun, isn't it?"Bob still had his arms around Jill's waist.. If you don't do it I'll get someone else.”I knew this was part of my loyalty test. If I didn't stage this phony witness hit, Viktor would have it done for real.“It'll be done before trial starts," I firmly stated. "You've got my word.”“I don't give a shit about your fucking word! I want results Goddammit!" He started cursing out loud in what I only assumed was Russian. "Remember Frank..." He glowered at me. "I've got my eye on you.”Our entire conversation was tense and combative, but I knew he.
