The weekend was different though, we spent every single moment together, going out as a couple for the first time; even something as mundane as the we...kly food shop took on a magic as we strolled hand in hand down the supermarket aisles.We talked incessantly, yet there were many silences that neither of us felt we had to break.When Teresa returned to her own home, late on Sunday evening, I was amazed at just how quickly she had become a part of my life; even this early I was beginning to think. "I'll have to take you somewhere, Karen—that can't be right," he said, with a concerned tone in his voice. She loved him more than ever at that moment, if that was possible. But Karen was a very intelligent, mature, ten year old and something in her brain intuitively made the connection between growing up, the funny feelings and the tummy aches. Smiling, she stroked his cheek:"It's all right, Billy, I think it's normal: it's just what happens to girls when they get bigger. I think I remember. She also orderd a drink but took some sallad.They both looked at the sun going under, very romantic.They talked a little and had a great evening having dinner and drinkingdrinks.She asked if she could go home with him to continue the evening.That's fine he said.And then they went on to his home.He had quiet a big house.Come on in he said. You can sit on the couch if you want.Okay I'll sit on the couch she said.He asked her if she wanted something to drink and she'd like somethingSo they both. ” “No, you didn’t. I shouldn’t have taken it personally. And Please call me Jeff. We’ll be working together for a while, so I’d prefer if, when we aren’t with others, you call me Jeff.” “Alright, then, Jeff.” She looked out the window at the pool. “How tired are you?” “I had a good nap, so I’m not too tired. Why?” “I would like to swim, and think it best I have an escort.” “I’ll grab my swimming suit and join you.” I wore a conservative swim suit, as did Nina in her one-piece. It was then.
