Hey! Dina said as she noticed me sitting there. I said hey back. Trying not to explode. Dina put down her beach bag and looked over at me with a devil...sh smile. I had never seen her smile like that. It was like the cat that ate the canary kind of smile. I went to the beach. Dina said. I noticed the she had a gold chain Around her neck. Dina never wore gold chains. I was wondering where you were. Did you forget you called me? No I didn’t forget looking over her shoulder as she went into the. We find ourselves a quiet spot on the grass, and make ourselves comfortable. We take off our blazers, shoes and socks, and I get out my textbook, while Sarah lies down on her back. She pulls up her school skirt (which is already pretty short) to get as much sun as possible to her long legs.Everything is quiet for a while, apart from the sound of the birds and a mother a long way off, shouting at her child. But Sarah doesn’t really do quiet.“Annie?”“Mmmm.”“It’s nice here isn’t. She said with adisapproving frown "Ok I have some work to do so I'll be in my officefor a few hours; why don't you make a start now," she said giving me aplayful pat on the bum and walking out.As I sat at the kitchen table looking at the wash bag with its partiallyspilled feminine contents, the only thing going through my mind was thatshe was calling it her office more and more. It was mine but I only usedit for job hunting now, where as Sadie was in and out of it all day now.She had even moved. There was a tiara on its crown and it was magnificent.Below it was the tiers of drawers, half a dozen of them. They had no drawer pulls but featured cut-outs to insert one's hand into. But one didn't have to open a drawer to see it's contents: the cutaway in all cases revealed the neat folds of lingerie, some with edges of lace both modest and broad on garments of nylon and silk, sheer, black, red, white, champagne, coral and mauve.I could guess what was behind the other doors of this wall.
