After Jill’s wistful declaration, the conversation had moved on from Luther’s experiences of combat to the years of building his business. But as ...e finished telling us about his business, I saw a spark of light in his eye, and he brought the conversation all the way back to what Jill had said about her literary ambitions.“Of course, Jill honey, you do know what your problem is, don’t you?” He was a real salesman, this smooth-talking ex-soldier.“I have a feeling I’m about to find out. Go on,. I didn’t know what he was talking about so I ignored him. In the bar it was karaoke night, I just hoped that Jon didn’t ‘volunteer’ me. There was the usual mix on good, bad and bloody awful singers but in one of the gaps where no one ‘volunteered’, the DJ sang a few songs. One of them was ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles. Before he started he warned everyone to listen close to exactly what he was singing. He didn’t change many words but the ones he did, changed the whole context of the song. I still. So with out moving my fingers I took support for the jerk given by train and started rubbing my fingers on that area. I wanted to see her facial reactions but her face was down. Soon I felt like she is adjusting herself as my fingers were in the most hot and soft areas.. but was not sure because of train jerks. After some time I took my left leg back to my seat and touched my thumb.. my god it was totally wet… means she too is enjoying .. OK lets go ahead I thought …I with my right leg thumb. ‘Am I insane?’ she wondered for the fiftieth time that day. ‘What if he hates me? What if throws me off his verandah? What if he’s indifferent, and doesn’t even care that I’ve come?’ Julie posed one absurd question after another, partly to draw out her unspoken fears, and partly to prepare herself for the worst. It had been just over a year since she’d last spoken to Aaron, and it still made her wince with pain to remember that evening. Theirs had been a whirlwind romance lasting only six.
