"I haven't figured it out yet." Figured it out?" He laughed. "What's there to figure out, Ann? You either like girls or you don't. Christ, Dad's gonna...have a fit!" What?" I stared at him. "You can't say anything, Greg. Not ever, to nobody!" I ain't gonna say anything," he said defensively, "But what? You think you can start picking up girls in Beaverton and nobody's gonna know cause it's so freakin' far away?" He started laughing again and it actually made me smile, just a little."I don't. Thus, I ended up celebrating with my cousin and his wife. A few other relatives were there too.My cousin is a couple of years older than I am, and he was (and still is) married to a woman (Anna) with whom he yet did not have any children. As far as I can remember, I had never felt any particular attraction for her. She was (and still is) nice, and I enjoyed her company, as you do with friends. She is a few years older than I am, and when I was 19 she was 27. I occasionally spent time with them. The shed outside had the tools for running a small farm. The real value of the farm was in the livestock.After looking around the little shack, Erica opened the chest and looked at the contents. There was some cloth, a bundle of leather, and a change of clothes. There was a little box buried down at the bottom. She pulled the box out and opened it. Surprised, she said, “Look at all of the money and jewels in this box.”Mike came over to her and looked in the box. There were a lot of shells and. The complex had a pool, fitness center and other amenities. He knew he would be very comfortable there. Cliff was greeted enthusiastically by all the staff at the home office. They all understood that without sales they didn’t have a company and Cliff was responsible for a record year. He got settled in his new office and Carla filled in as his temporary assistant. She had decorated the office before he arrived and he was pleased with her choice of décor. He spent the rest of the day organizing.
