In reality though,Adam doubted that Emma would be able to make it after what he hadplanned.Once the back office was clear of all the other staff, Cree...y Cox slunkout of his office and came over to where Emma was working."They'll be making the delivery soon. You'd better be out of sight whenthey do. I'm really looking forward to this, any chance of a quick sampleup front?" he asked. Adam got up onto his heels to give Trevor Cox aquick peck on his cheek. Creepy Cox was having none of that though. Though he tried to hide it Keri could see his developing despair. Without being too obvious she tried in little ways to reassure him, that if this is what he wanted in their relationship she would continue on with it. She so wanted to do more for him. He was giving so much of himself to them and to her mind getting so little to nothing in return. She tried to come up with something, anything that she could offer back to him, that wouldn’t upset the precarious ‘arrangement’ that they had all. “You look tired. Tired of the day or tired of him?…Tired of him I think. Come and sit, no not here, sitthere I want to see you as I… talk. I believe weeach are a book, a story waiting to be completed; Ihave my story and you have obviously only recentlybegun yours… Let me see… shall I tell it to you,it will be interesting to see how much I can guess,just by looking at you.

Let's have a session in the gym first to weed down the competition." Jake was first to pull back a fat branch almost to breaking point, challenging us to enter his realm. Small wonder that he was subjected to our combined onslaught and forced to beg for mercy soon. Some people need to learn the hard way.The race to the top became a non-event. Jake was severely mangled but we refused to heal him, claiming that only real emergencies.
