It had a padlock on it and so it roused my curiosity. It took me a while to get the box open, but I was glad I did. I didn't count it, but there had t... be two thousand dollars worth of gold coins in the box.I was grinning from ear to ear as I transferred the coins to my saddle bags. "At least Lettie isn't destitute," I thought.John had supper with us again. That made five of us at the evening meal. I watched as Lettie helped Millie and Tess and I was impressed. It looked like she knew what she. My family had moved there 2 years earlier. Most people at the school were friends & knew each other regardless of what age or class they were in, so obviously I was friendly with my younger sisters friends most of which were 14 & craved the attention of the older boys.The school holidays had just begun & my sister’s friend Alesha was having a pool party at her place to which I was invited, it was obvious we both liked each other but neither of us had said anything, she had long blonde hair, big. Gary almost fainted the night I met him at the door in a short tight skirt, high heels, frilly white blouse buttoned to the neck, and a ruler in my hand.

When Gary tried to defend himself, she shook the ruler at him, saying there was no excuse for such behavior, leering at her like a sex object. Didn't he. .. I really don't know," Luke finally said."Think about that today, when you have the time," Jessie said before giving him a quick peck and driving over to her building.He thought of nothing else.Was it chauvinistic that he would expect a woman to be able to treat his money as hers without qualms? If he was rich and he bought Jessie a car. It would not bother him in the least if she returned the favour with their money. It was their money. Who else would he want to share it with?But they were.
