“What would mom say if she saw you looking at this?” “Who do you think told me about it? Your mother found it a few weeks ago.” “Mom found t...is?! And told you!” “Yeah. We’re your parents, not saints.” He laughed and stretched to press another key. His knee touched Chelsea’s thigh. The image changed to Kayla completely naked, kneeling on the bed with her knees apart. “Your mom likes this photo. I like it, too, but it’s not my favorite.” “Mom likes – Are you telling me mom looks at naked girl. I decidedto drop the subtlety. "Evie, these questions of mine sound funny, don'tthey?"She nodded."Something just happened." Something bad?" Her little hands tightened into fists. The tyke needed reassurance, so I enveloped her softly into my arms anddrew her close. "Evie, I sort of need your help."She looked up into my face. "Are you okay? You don't feel sick, do you?"I rested my chin on her shampoo-scented head. "Shhh, it's not like that.It's just that I -- I suddenly seem to. I'm so glad you messaged me as I was really worried we'd overstepped the mark at the weekend. Looking forward to having you again & doing more. Love you always, Mum XXX."Anthea gasped aloud — so loud, in fact, that she thought everyone in the building had heard.

She raised a smile. She said she would overlook it this once, but that I should remind you of the importance of good manners." "Good manners?" I queried, "Why Melissa, what have I done?" "Dinner, Miss." I looked at the small timepiece on my left wrist and gasped. It read ten minutes to Seven! "Oh my Lord!" I exclaimed, "I slept so long!" "So it would seem, Miss," she replied, "Would you care to freshen up before you come down? You must hurry of course." "Yes, yes I would," I stammered, remembering the patch.
