Tanya was all red and flushed from the cold. And the cab at the front porch was waiting for her to take her luggage out of the trunk. Then I went out ...o help her with her luggage. She hugged me and said, “Thank you” when I kept her last piece of luggage in her room.Then I set the thermostat to 25 degrees to warm the room and asked her if she needed any help.She: I’m good for now. Thank you so much for helping me.Then I smiled and left to continue cooking my brunch. After some time, I knocked at. And I felt so attracted to you, and thought you were to me, and Pam blew me off anyway…”Etta put a finger to his lips. “It’s okay.”“I’m sorry,” he said. “I don’t want to cause a problem with you two…”“Shhh…” Etta whispered. “It’s okay. You’re right, she did blow you off and she said it was great and she liked you but she was going home for the holidays. I didn’t understand it at the time.”“I’m sorry.”“Stop, don’t apologize.” She planted her lips against his. He squeezed her tight as they kissed. "Yes, by all means!" he grinned at Shanti as he motioned for Claire to turn out the table lamp.Shanti flipped out the overhead light as she was closing the door, leaving the room in total darkness.Claire's voice was little more than a whisper."It's not too late, Drummond. Call it off! Don't do this!" Shut up! You're the one who wanted something different. Well, you're about to get it!"Several seconds passed as both husband and wife peered into the darkness. Their attention was suddenly riveted. “Well Mom I think if this got out you’re law firm wouldn’t look to well into that, and I know dad and my step mom Kathy wouldn’t like it and I could always say something’s that might lead to Jail time.” Ryan said with a smile. “Are you fucking kidding me? I’m an equity partner at my law firm I could potentially not have to work again if I don’t want to. Then there’s the fact that you fucking hate Kathy and Why the fuck would you do that to me? What have I done to you to deserve this kind of.
