" She put out her hand, and added, "I'm Madison, by the way."I took her hand, holding it in mine for a couple of hours. Well, maybe a few seconds. I w...s surprised to feel the calluses on her palms. Now that I was closer I could see that she had emerald green eyes that seemed to suck the life right out of me. On the other hand, maybe I just needed a beer. "Great," I said as I walked back to open up the trailer. "Can I call you Maddie?"Those bright green eyes turned to that pale icy green. I knew that if Sam and I did not appear in the studio, Meganwould open up and get things going without us.When Sam finally woke she gave me a long loving kiss."Thank you Tom, thank you Jen, if I did not know before, I know now,that I love you more than anything or anyone in the world." I did not expect to find you in bed with me this morning. I thought youwere spending the night with Danny. What happened?" I went to Danny's place and when I got there I was so hungry for sexwith him. I almost. " And with that she hung up, leaving Dan's mind wandering.Fifteen minutes later, the pizza was just finishing and he had set out a few beers, not romantic but that's what the wife wanted then he was all for it. Just then the doorbell rang and as he went to the door he noticed that there was no car in the driveway. That's strange, he thought, his wife should have been home by now.Upon opening the door Dan's lips curled into a smile of pure lust and need. There before him stood his wife her hair. His parent's, the household staff's. The people in the other houses around the lake. The people in Wakefield and Reading and Stoneham. The people in Boston and Augusta. Pretty much all the people in New England were strong enough to feel individually. Further than that and it was just a sea of emotion, which thankfully managed to cancel itself out as a blanket of emotional white noise.At first it was an on or off proposition, a little like what I'd gone through as a toddler when the gifts began.
