.. It's MY problem really! But it never fails! Alex has lots of cats. I'm allergic to cats (sigh) she keeps the catsand in our bathroom! And I wretch ...t the smelly oder which she NEVER cleans, so guess who's winds up doing it?I think she keeps it in there to bug me. Really! She barged in yesterday and found me going #2! Suddenly her cat sprinkle came in and went in the sand box next to me. She smirked."You two make quite a pair!" I stared dagers. She smiled. Also when she thinks I've. ”“I hope things calm down for you, Steve,” Jackie said.“Me too. I’ll see you soon, I hope.”“Want us to come for New Year’s?” she asked.“That’s a smashing idea! I’ll call Pete and Melanie as well. Why don’t you guys come around 6:00pm? We’ll have dinner.”We agreed on the plans and what they’d bring, and then I called Pete and Melanie to invite them. Melanie quickly agreed and I told her about Jennifer.“Shit,” she said. “I’m going to come over tonight!”“I don’t think that’s a good idea, Melanie,”. She closed her eyes and fantasized about being spanked and photographed during one of her art class modeling sessions ... yes ... getting with the belt right in front of all those students who drew her every day. She actually did respond to Mike ... a little ... which was not common for her at all.Once he was asleep, Ruthie took out two picture cards that fit into her mother's digital camera and placed them next to her computer. One of the cards had been filled to capacity for a couple of years. Oh God…’ But after a moment, I realised I had to move fast, spurring myself into action by tugging off my bathrobe and spinning on the taps. Luke could be back at any moment now and I didn’t know how I’d cope if Daniel was the one who opened the door when he knocked. Yet somehow I needed to let Luke know what had happened, I thought, holding my injured arm behind me while I awkwardly used my left hand to splash tepid water on to my face. I couldn’t just leave without saying goodbye. Not after.
