‘I’m pretty sure he liked what he saw. He just wasn’t expecting to see that, ‘ I laughed. ‘Okay, fun’s over. Give me my clothes,’ she sa...d. ‘Nope,’ I said, ‘for one thing, I can’t get them from behind the seat without stopping the truck and getting out. Second, you promised me something.’ I looked over at her and gave her a big smile. ‘Bastard,’ she said, but she undid her seatbelt and slid over next to me. ‘Is there somewhere you can pull over? A side road or something?’ I knew just the spot.. Can you give me an answer on ifyou want to go with me?" Would this be both of us?" we both say."....or just the one?" the one nearest him finishes up."Well you say that you are two now? So I would ask both, but that mightcost me a few extra bucks, that I will have to get together?" I have that handled, I am not poor by far." I say softly and go back tocleaning my blade."Mr. Reilly has money I know, but I would never ask him to pay for yourdate with me?" I do have my own money, far more than you. " That's right," Susie confirmed. "I'll give you her address." Shepaused while I brought her tea. "Thank you, Mary," she said. "We'llhelp ourselves to biscuits."Staying in character, I curtseyed and turned to leave. I loved beingthe maid and being able to avoid conversations like these with peoplelike Eleanor."So you managed all the renovations then?" Susie continued."Yes, we lived with plumbers, electricians and carpenter for eighteenmonths. Then I redecorated throughout. And I had to. When I saw you putting the cuffs on those girls, I felt something, but I pushed it away. Again and again over the past two days, it kept coming back, though I denied it. Finally when you had tied me up, I knew it was a chance, so I grabbed it. I was worried you might take advantage of me. But then you suggested I spend time with Lizzie which was wonderful. She told me that you understood we were still a couple, separate from, well, tonight. I would not have expected a situation like this would.
