The next morning while he was still stewing his booze, I picked up Sonny and lit out of town. Right now, I’m living in Sherwin’s Falls.”“Sher ..... what? Where’s that?”“Sherwin’s Falls. It’s a little nowhere village next to the American border, this side of the zoo at Hemmingford.”“I’d like to see you again, Mel. We could talk about what happened to you ... I dunno, bring each other up to date, like.”“I’d like that. There’s no way that I’m coming back into town, however, Karine, not even for one. " I could not believe I just said that to my own mom. I felt I pushed it way past the line with that. I watched her reaction and she actually blushed, smiled and looked down at the floor. "Well I will take that as a compliment, being called hot by a teenage guy." Then she looked at me for a few moments. "I will show you my boobs but you have to promise never to tell anyone! OK? We would get into so much trouble." I couldn't believe it, I wanted to jump up and yell 'YES!' I was going to get to. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were afraid of phones."There was a bit of lightness in my mystery blonde's voice that made think she was teasing me, I looked back up with what I'm sure would have been a witty response on the tip of my tongue, but when I saw the deep cleavage only inches away from my eyes, my mouth just hung open."Sorry, I scared you, I'll help you clean up the mess."My sexy visitor was kneeling down next to me leaning over and gathering books. As she cleaned, I couldn't. "Have you reported this to the police?" I asked."Harold Buttes," he said, extending his hand. His face still showed signs of his recent crying spell, but I could tell that talking to me was helping him recover."Jason Crabtree," I said as we shook hands."I only found it just now," he said. "I doubt if it would do any good to tell the police. They don't have manpower to station an officer out here at night." How do you know it happened at night?" I asked."I don't know when it happened. I should.
