My heart skipped a beat when I saw that his long blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail. I was expecting Jenny to wear a wig for some reason. His fac... was framed with a pair of masculine frameless glasses. I caught his eye and he waved, miming did I want another drink. I realised I’d already finished my drink and nodded yes. I stood up and took my pint and shook Pete’s hand noticing that his hands were slim and soft. I’ve shook a lot of men’s hands and never had that thought before! We hit it. "What the hell is going on Mark? Thought you'd be happier than this about this." The leader stated as he watched Mark for a reaction."Oh, sorry, I was almost caught by Tantka, I was just hoping the explosion caught him on board. I barely made it off in time, the way he was acting though, I'm not so sure now that Tantka is gone." Mark haltingly replied.The leader's face showed his surprise that Mark had actually risked his life like this for him and his men. A new found respect for Mark was. We had a servant Rajan there who was around 32 yrs old & worked there from his childhood (even his father worked for us during his whole life who was now dead) he took care of our estate house there & also worked, when I reached there he welcomed me & told me he was going to get married day after tomorrow & invited me to that ceremony which I accepted as it was a custom that we tried to attend those sort of ceremonies just to please our workers, I gave him Rs 1000/- as a special gift which I. "Okay, buddy, if you say so. But things seem a bit odd." Ask me if you'd trade a little sleep for a whole lot more fun in twelvedays!"Jenny looked at Mark with a devious grin. "I know I would."Mark took her by the arm, patted me on the back and moved away. Just a fewmore days, I smiled as they walked off into the distance.Things began to change in Mark's world by the time he got home. Maybe what Isaid earlier that afternoon had put him at ease. I personally think it wasthe taffy. But everything.
