Susan tried to convince herself that Carmen and Benita were just doing aerobics or some other sort of exercise. When Susan’s head rounded the door a...d her eyes gazed on the bed, a lump was in her throat. Susan stared in disbelief as her daughter’s best friend repeatedly thrust into her baby girl with wild abandon. From the angle the pair of lovers were across the bed and Benita’s back was to Susan.

Matt checked the computer as soon as he got out of the shower and on a whim decided to do a quick search for private investigators.

We do that. But you have nothing to worry about with me. I’m just not interested in you.”She stewed as we finished eating. And on the drive back to the hospital she sat next to me and fidgeted.When we got back to thr hospital’s waiting room, she asked,”So if you’re not gay, why aren’t you interested in me?”I looked at my watch and estimated the amount of time we had. Then I told her my story. I told her about growing up in Grace Lake and how much I’d loved it there. I told her about my dad.

The other two spun around, crossbows at the ready. The second guard was upon on of them in an instant. The soldier had no time to switch weapons. He swung his crossbow to parry the blow from the sword. The other soldier brought his crossbow to bear on the first guard.The shot was true. The guard's.
