"It was a useless pink powder." Edward threw it away," Mom told the man. "It was a useless pink powder." So you did open it?" the man asked."Yes, but ... thought it was just a joke gift so I tossed it," I said, speaking up. "It's long gone." I see," he said. "Do you mind if I come in and talk more?" No, Mom!" I hissed."No!" Mom said sharply."I just thought..." No!" I understand. Edward if you..." I have homework to do" I said. "Good-bye." Good-bye," Mom and Evelyn said one after the other."Thank. But why is it you know about them going there?" After the little incident this spring, I thought it might be better ifthey had umm, visual aids." Sophie you naughty girl," I smacked at her bottom. She squealed andjumped.Tiffany, Sherry and Becca giggled. And Donnie asked. "What's going on inhere?" Just girl talk," I told him. "Nothing to worry about."After we'd put the kids to bed and spent a couple of hours playingtogether Sophie asked. "What's she like? I don't really know anythingabout her.". " Okay. I'll let them know if I see Mom before you talk to her." Great. Thanks son. See you tonight, hopefully."It was probably the most civil discussion we had ever held. He wasn't condescending or irritated. Surprisingly, he hadn't sounded irritated with the idea of not getting home tonight. It made me wonder why.

You just want my body." And what a body," Laura smiled, pulling her toward the bedroom. "I do want it, every inch of it. Every secret part." I don't have no secrets from you... any more," Trina grinned.Laura shut the bedroom door."Why'd you do that?" To keep you from escaping," Laura leered comically at her. "I'm going to have my way with you."Trina grinned again, beginning to unbutton her sweater. "I ain't goin' nowhere. Nowhere at all. I've been dreaming of this." Let me help, darling. I love.
