I spent some time with Mona going over the budget documents that Janice had sent from Canberra. I understood nearly nothing about them. Mona appeared ...o have a handle on the whole thing. I asked her whether she could pull out all the stuff that concerned the West and the NT while I was away."No problem, Gordy. But there are things that would be relevant that aren't here." Really? No, don't tell me. Call Janice first thing tomorrow and see whether she can help." OK. She'll know, I'm certain.". I was surprised to see a thick, redshaft emerging from the lace-trimmed hole. The strap-on was remarkablyrealistic save for its color, covered in veins and gently curving up toan arrowhead tip.Never before had I seen such open, indulgent display of eroticism andsexuality. No one hid their intentions or desires here -- quite theopposite, in fact. You put them on display, celebrating your wants withthose around you. I followed behind them all in an almost trance-likestate, my cage bouncing and. She just smiled and went to sit on my bed while I swiveled around in my desk chair. "Heya, squirt."I rolled my eyes in mild annoyance. I really had to come up with some similarly childish nickname for her, just so I had the ammunition. "Welcome back. Hope mom and dad didn't grill you too hard." It was nothing. I'm used to it. They asked me about drugs and alcohol more than anything else." Have you?" Tried a little weed. Wasn't my thing. And you already know about the alcohol. Speaking of which,. I didn't say anything for a few minutes. I just watched them and waited to see if either of them would finally realize what I'm proposing. Finally I chuckled and asked, "You two really are dense aren't you? No wonder you're hiding in a repossessed house and eating scraps!"I've been fairly polite up until that point. My insults came as a bit of a surprise. But they just glanced at each other briefly and then looked down again. They were unable to look me in the eye, or refute my cold.
