Yes, Jane. Yes, we’re serious. Jane, you’re the one who started this. Okay, but there is one other thing. Would you also bring your dog? Yes, I am... I am very much wanting to try him again, without being drunk or being held down. Yes, Jane, he knows about that, too. Great! This Friday night at about 7:30? Great, I’ll give you direction at the office. Thanks, Jane.”Friday night finally arrived. Since Jane like white wine, they had that ready along with other drinks and some light snacks. Cindy was standing right under her looking up. For a moment, Gina would have sworn Cindy was looking up her dress with an expression of, well, almost sexual interest. Gina, startled, glanced away, shook her head to clear it and looked back. Cindy was still standing there but was looking up at Gina with her normal friendly smile. Gina wondered if she had imagined the whole thing.Then came the day of the storm. Gina had taken the chance to bolt for her car only to find the locks wouldn't open and. Became such that even the people spreading the rumours began to believe they were true.“Hey, we’ve been looking for you.” Steph touched my arm, snapping me out of the trance I was in. Claire wasn’t with her. She sat next to me and ordered a glass of wine.“I’ve been here all the time,” I said. “I went to the gents a while ago, but I’ve been here since. Where’s Claire?”Steph quickly looked around, then put her hand on my arm. “I thought she was with you but don’t worry. The last time I saw her,. He is a louse and vermin in my book. There was no reason for whathe did. Men are far too strong without the heart to go along with theirstrength."Harriet answered, "When Julia told him off for cheating on her andthrough him out of the house he was violent then as well. He slappedher every time she tried to answer his outbursts. He told her that itwas a husband's right and a wife's duty to make love whenever he wishedit. HA! Make love indeed! All he wanted was to get his satisfaction.Julia never.
