. you backstabbing traitor!"Now Mimi was a little mad, too. "You're wrong," she replied flatly. "Thatthing of his was hard as a rock before I ever ask...d him to dance, and Ithink you know that." She paused, and gave her friend the once-over."Now, you can either start behaving like a lady or you can leave and thehell with you!"Deedee actually did know that, from the bump just before the waltz, butin her mind she had tried vigorously to pretend she didn't.

Helen went on to tell me that the couple was a successful love story after they had both met here at the site some four years earlier. “So, how have you both been?” asked Helen. “Absolutely wonderful,” replied Lisa, with a big grin on her face. “We have come down this weekend to celebrate our engagement with everyone,” she went on, showing off her ring to Helen and myself. “Oh, that is great news Lisa. Congratulations to you both,” Helen smiled and hugged them both. “Me and Tim are heading to. More often than I do." Well..." Well, what?"

The table had been turned in a most incredible way. Jack was willing to break his lifestyle for her and their non-existent child. ‘I am very serious.
