She opened the door. It was a complete stranger. Some guy she'd never met before. But she beamed at him like he was a gift. This guy looked her over and licked his lips. She looked at her feet pretending to be shy. I know shy. I’m shy. This strumpet is not shy. But it gives the guy confidence. He pushed his way in,.

She grabbed his hand, said, “Come,” and led him up the short flight of steps to the elevator where she hit the button in quick succession.He pushed her against the doors and kissed her. She tasted of spearmint. This is really happening, isn’t it!? The doors parted and they stumbled into the elevator. He pushed number 6 and turned around. Clare stood in the corner, half-lifting herself up on.
