Have to." But -" No buts. Do it!"Veronica was thrilled, but she also knew she shouldn't stay. It might cost her the job if she left, but if she didn't... it might cost her her husband. But Karl had told her to come in and take dictation.She went into the man's office, her pencil and pad ready."Where's Mary Ellen?" he asked, his eyes widening."Left. It's almost five-fifteen, Mr. Bennet." Damn, that meeting lasted longer than I'd thought. You don't mind staying late, do you, Veronica?" My husband. "Which makes you my age, I thought.She hesitated."Go on," I said."My father's a doctor. He and my mother were friends of Arthur and Jane, his first wife. I've known him all my life.

Something made her blush, maybe the realization of what was brewing between the two of us. "Arthur is a jealous man," she said. I would dress myself up like a girl, using some of the otherproducts I saw, and go over there and introduce myself as Josie.Since I live in Seattle, I get 1 hour shipping from Amazon, so I couldjust order my stuff on there.

She said feel better, and as long as Josie is trustworthy,she would gladly take. Didi could sense there was a difference and asked Kat if theycould talk. "Didi, I love you like a sister but I have an issue youdon't have to worry about." "Do you mean Aunt Flo? Sandy and I are onthe same cycle now, but I can help if you need anything." Kat wasamazed that her former brother / now sister was so familiar with herperiod and felt that Didi was becoming an amazing sister. Didi offeredto help Kat with any feminine issues she had.Brooke was practically gushing when she recounted.
