You drank beer instead!"I laughed. It was the new family 'in' joke.We had talked with Mum and Dad about tolerance for alcohol over Christmas; Dad had ...old us that he had been chatting to a workmate who said that Chinese people just couldn't take their drink. The man had said that it was all down to prehistoric man finding ways to purify his drinking water; while in the West we had learned to brew wine, cider, ale and small beer to drink, in the East they had discovered tea, and therefore boiled. Did I just lose control?If I could tap into Ally's memories and thoughts, could her body tap intomine? I just need to remind myself that I ABSOLUTELY do not want to screwmy best friend and hopefully my body will get the message.I blushed and my brother made an "ugh" sound before shaking his head atme. The little brat! I knew the kinds of things he looked at when he wasalone. Hell, I knew we both had a thing for that Irish actress whose nameno one knew how to pronounce. That's when I. " What?"James smiled. "We're both allowed to find lovers outside our marriage. The only rule is that whoever we find is someone we have to be able to share. Someone willing to have sex with either or both of us." So if I were to tell you that I saw her being... rather amorous with a young lady on the beach today?" Tall lady, blonde, big tits?" That's her." That's Tracie. I know her well. In fact it was Tracie who helped us through a really bad rough spot that we had that nearly broke us. The fact that that both of these events occurred within a relatively short time of each other indicated the likelihood of earlier, unknown events effecting civilization in a like manner. In addition, as all previous attempts to curb her seemingly careless disregard of the civil codes had been disastrous, or, at best, was of indeterminate effect, she was granted ‘Carte Blanche’ status; complete freedom to do as she wished. She was not to be brought before judgement again, ever.Although delighted.
