"There's clothes for 'her' over there." She gestured with equals partsamusement and disgust in her voice."Thank the nice lady, Bella," daddy intoned m...sically, giving me a startleas he reached behind me and squeezed my butt with a nice singular firmmotion. My whole body tensed as I looked up her, unable to fully make eyecontact."Thank you for helping us out, ma'am," I intoned softly, earning noresponse and a look of contempt. My hand was again grabbed and I wasushered over the aisle she had. After a magnificent dessert of something decadently chocolate, they made their way back to the car. Beth took his hand “Thank you sweetie, I really needed that.”“Well, the k**s aren’t all in bed yet,” he said, checking his watch. “Why don’t we go take a walk?”She nodded, and he drove to the River Walk, a path used by bikers and joggers during the day. The summer sun went down so much later here than it had in Florida; it was only just beginning to get a bit shadowy.They walked hand in hand. You would not have worn that coat to a ball, would you?”“No.” When had she worried herself that he was only murmuring instead of talking? Now he was talking -- talking paragraphs, chapters -- and it was nearly as dizzying as the touches had been.“I propose, dear Vivian, dearest wife, that there are appropriate costumes before a husband and appropriate behavior with a husband,” he said. When did she become his dearest wife? He was not going to love her, and he was not supposed to say he did. Was. . I never had much luck there" I explained. She was flabbergasted, "You never once-" "Never", I answered before she could finish. "I never in a million years thought we would both die on this family vacation", she lamented. I hung my head down in defeat. We were both young and kind. How could this be how it ends? "We don't deserve to die like this", I said bitterly.A few long moments passed before Carmen sat up completely, "You can fuck me... if you want to". Now it was my turn to be.
