. hell I didn’t even know what the plan was. But right then, as the tickling turned into kissing, I had my Hayley back and everything else in the wo...ld was forgotten.The next few days were a rush. I had to get my guys to come back with their van.Two trips full of empty boxes, packets and Styrofoam I didn’t have time to deal with.I’d underestimated how long it would take to find a place for everything and put all the finishing touches in place.

They should have been back by now.’ answered Ophealia. Suddenly, Pristine became wide awake. Something was not right. She immediately got up and packed up her gear. ‘What’s wrong Pristine?’ asked Kyra as the others followed her lead. ‘Something is wrong. I can sense it.’ ‘I believe you Pristine.

The others, Straight, Adams and Currence, have been Mayfield's friends since birth. They all live in a ritzy subdivision. Mark got involved because he was a good athlete. I've known Moira since we were teenagers. She went off to college, got pregnant and came back to Gallia when her husband died. She worked at a coffee shop so she didn't have a bunch of money to throw around. But Mark was. She wanted to keep an eye on him. She didn’t want her daughter to know about her lover. He could see she was trying to make up her mind.“My daughter must never know.”“I’ll act my part like it was an Academy Award performance. You do the same. She’ll never know.”“Darling, I love you for this,” Paulette said to him. “Thanks for everything.”“That’s why I’m here, Paulette. For your sake.”She was all over him.
