"Maybe not but they have invited me to meet them and I propose to do so," Rita said stubbornly."Alright but don't boast otherwise your fate will be th...t of Mona," Kiran said."Mona? You mean that girl who was in our class last year and committed suicide," Rita said."Yes, the same," Kiran said."Do you know why she took such a drastic step," Rita asked."It was because of them," Kiran said."How do you know?" Rita said."She was my best friend," Kiran said with tears in her eyes, "she told me. Smack dab in front of the TV."Why are you two so calm?" An animated girl with wild jet black swept back hair was saying to two sailor suited classmates. "Didn't you hear what she said?" Huh?" The two she was speaking to said in perfect unison, one light complexed, long flowing strait hair sporting a decidedly vacant expression, the other, darker skinned with a short wild brown mane."At least say something!" The girl who had first spoken demanded of them. In response the perplexed duo slowly. I have this regular monthly card game with four or five of my mates, the next one was set for the following weekend. I volunteered Jan to my mates as our hostess for the evening. When I told her, she was at first very shy about it, but despite this I set about finding something for her to wear for the evening. I want her dressed up nice and sexily, but I don't want to scare her too much at the first hurdle. In the end she modifies an old dress by shortening the skirt to half way up her thighs. She was somewhat vague about the anticipated duration of her stay, and said nothing about its purpose at all. I got the feeling it was more than just a desire to see her grandchildren, but I didn't press. She promised to let me know what the travel arrangements would be once she and William had finalized them.The other call was a request from my Craxill father to visit him in his quarters, on a personal matter. Again, I didn't press, but to say I was curious would be like saying the ocean was.
