I wasn't miserable, but I also wasn't having much fun. At least not until Steve's wife arrived. Steve's wife was the country prosecutor. Since she had...a trial going on, we were forced to wait for court to end for the day before she could head our way. I was irritated at the wait until she arrived.Jo Anne Stevens, wife of Edgar Stevens, was a flat out gorgeous chick by anybody's standards. I mean, women who had obviously never had any part of another woman's body in their mouth stopped talking. “Yeah, yeah, no guarantees,” he said, also laughing. I gave him a sour look, well, he deserved it.“Hi David,” said Mom, followed by my dad. Dad was carrying a too large for him styro-cooler and mom was laden with a largesh bowl filled with her special salad.“This the lady you were telling us about?” said Dad.“Yes, yes it is,” I said. “Stacey Wilcox, this is Xena and Philby Carter, My parents.“Pleased to meet you both,” said Stacey, smiling broadly.The greetings and pleasantries continued for. I had been dressed underneath it all this time. A t-shirt and shorts. I stepped on the heels of my shoe covers and walked ahead in socks with sandals.“Can we go in?” Dad launched himself up with a smile I couldn’t have imagined on his face when I stepped out. Olivia was looking a little rounder. Doc Vanessa sat on my step-mother’s side. They looked on with patience and wariness. Olivia saw the tears in the corners of my eyes. It was like a lightswitch.“Dad, I really need to introduce you to. ” he answered quietly. “I thought so.” Jan said. “Well, enjoy the view, because you're going to pay for it later!” She climbed up and into the attic. The view that Ted must have got as she clambered in a very ungainly and unladylike way into the attic must have been quite something! She found the folder and brought it down. “I've had an idea. I want to know what the view was like for you, so here, take my picture using my phone! Just press here.” She climbed back up to the top of the ladders.
