He called the electrician, and asked if he could make it out tomorrow, and he was confirmed. That would, if all went well, put them a solid 4 weeks ahead of schedule.The older ladies arrived a short bit later. BLESS THEM!!! All of THEM were naked, as well. They brought out baskets of hot fried chicken, big bowls pf potato salad, mashed, AND. . now. Why did nobody tell me."Tears. Tears raining on my face. Tears for me this time."Polly, you were in charge of the bloody Mafia. Why didn't you know?" Polly looked hurt and puzzled."Oh, sorry! Just a minute.

I close the small space of distance and feel the electric shock of her lips touching mine.Ella’s breath.
