Within a week of you and me getting involved she knew. It seemed I started smiling all the time and humming. When I asked her how she felt about movin... in with you, my daughter surprised me again."She liked how you made me feel. Then she asked about sex and you. That sort of led to a chat about my first time and then her desires and ... well, she picked you, Sylvan. I didn't suggest it. You know she thinks you're cute. So do her friends.
