I raised the knife and stabbed as hard as I could at my stomach. I heard a scream behind me just as the knife touched my abdomen. There was no penetra...ion of my skin at all, though the cloth of my shirt was cut. The most glaring results of the experiment were a badly bent knife blade and Julia lying on the floor in a dead faint.I was bending over her limp body, wiping her face with a damp cloth, when everybody rushed in to investigate the scream. I noted that Amy was the only one who was armed!. So it's ours, not yours." Of course. Everything's joint. Whether you're a pie maker or a pie eater." Very funny. However, we should talk about our future." Okay. Tell me your thoughts." Number one. Children. We're planning on them, right?" One or two. It's more work for you than me until they're a few months old." Right. And we're not living here forever." I hope not." Okay. I propose we invest a large chunk of whatever cash there is into real estate. Specifically, a large enough house or condo. I also noticed our friend Shae was eating up Maggie's new fun sexy look. Shae was of course a lesbian (who I actually had 3 or 4 accidental one-nighters with after becoming entirely too intoxicated). Funny how that works though. I wondered the entire time if she thought all of this attention had anything to do with her no-doubt brilliant analysis of progressive post-Gothic Frankish philosophy. I wonder if she even noticed if the treasure of her person now rest between her legs rather than her. Mark stood directly next to me and held tightly to my red bestockingedleg. He didn't get under my skirt, so I let him alone.The tomatoes came first, as they were out of the can into the pot. Lookeda little funny, but that's what the recipe said to do. I browned thegound meat and the vegetables and put both into the pot. That wassupposed to become a sauce? Looked very strange.I added the herbs and pressed the garlic into it all. Amply. Afterbringing to a boil I lowered the heat to the lowest.
