I found myself regularly being reminded that she was an employee and according to my rules, off limits.Del was gone for over two hours and I was begin...ing to wonder what had happened to her when I saw her slowly walking down the gangway onto the dock. Her shoulders were slumped and she didn't look very happy. I wondered what had happened. She looked nothing like the woman who had walked off the boat a couple of hours earlier."Hi, any problems?" I asked, noticing the frown on her face."No .... Seeing you in the shopping centre was the best thing that has happened to me for a decade or more.”“Oh, I hope we can change that, Mo,” Ty grinned, “I’ve been busy since that morning. Just wait until we get there.”“Can’t wait.”“No need to.”A wave of Ty’s hand and they were standing on the sand, Moses facing the lagoon and the bright blue sea and sky beyond.“Oh look, Daddy,” said Jessica, pointing behind Moses, “They’ve got the new tent up.”Moses turned around and between the shore and the tree. Hence, he didn’t stray excessively while they were together.He may not have been in love with her, but he did come to love her the best that he was able to, and she did satisfy him on many levels. Rylee was the perfect wife and hostess for him.She had even taught him how to behave when dealing with other lords and ladies. At the time he was also spending a lot of his time consolidating his new wealth, his position and the setting up of his trade deals during those years.Rylee’s title, knowledge. "OK, Teresa," I said. "We're depending on you. Move out."She snapped to attention and saluted like she was at West Point. "Yes, Ma'am," she said."When you get back, remind me to confine you to quarters, Teresa," I said.She grinned. "OK, come on you guys, we're outta here." She motioned to Twassel and he lurched after her, trying to say something about not understanding. Then a soldier I hadn't met, some kind of Slavic name and the cleanest, neatest guy I'd seen since the shit hit the fan, came.
