So I called Veronica and she said “Ooh, a foursome. With Lucy. I'm soo in” and I said “That's not what I said” and she said “I know. And I c...n't. I'm in London, darling.”And I said “Really?” and she said “Yeah. Visiting granny” and I said “Oh okay”.So I asked Cait and she said “No. Nuh-uh, no way” and I said “Why not?” and she said “I don't even like Lucy” and I said “You don't even know Lucy” and she said “I know she's the girl of your dreams” and I said “Cait, come on. She's not”.Then I said. Jane had clearly been up a while. I kissed her thoroughly and sat down. She brought me a cup of coffee and the paper then I almost fell out of my chair when Jane whistled though her teeth and Jethro came trotting into the kitchen. She told him to sit, he plopped his big goofy ass right to the floor and she gave him a piece of bacon. He gobbled it down and she sent him out of the room with a word and a gesture. Now Jethro was as smart as he wanted to be, which most of the time wasn’t very. So. I hadn’t brought sleeping bags but quilts because l was more likely to reuse the quilts, l covered Steph and she went to sleep, it wasn’t till after 10pm Beth turned up telling me all about the boy and her evening, l showed interest then she went to bed. I finished my drink and turned in, l don’t know what time it was but Steph was calling me saying she felt ill so l went to see what the problem was she did look green in the face, Steph crawled from the bed compartment l got the bucket for her. My wife led us to our living room where three of us, Dipak, Mita and I got seated in a three seater sofa, Mita sitting between me and Dipak. My wife went inside to fetch drinks. When she had brought the bottle and the glasses, Dipak suggested that we could all drink from the same glass. My wife poured the drink into one glass and at my suggestion gave it to Mita who after sipping a bit handed the glass to me. I drank a little and passed it to Dipak who in turn gave it to my wife. We all started.
