She was enjoying herself.We walked out of the beauty parlor, through the hotel lobby, and into a waiting limo. Victoria and I received lots of leering glances from the businessmen in the lobby as we passed through. Victoria, by the way, is a stunning tall woman. Very beautiful in fact.And then off. But my fear was ill-placed, and as the months passed, Jill and I grew closer and Callan and Charlotte’s relationship deepened until they announced their engagement.~~~~Twenty-plus years on, all of these memories came flooding back with a sharpness that belied the years.
