Sleep well, Anya. And ... thanks for a splendid meal and ... charming company."Our eyes met and there was another long pause before Anya nodded, wishe... me, "Goodnight," turned, and went off to her bed. That left me alone, undecided whether to congratulate myself on avoiding awkwardness or to kick myself for not trying to move our relationship on a step.The next stop was on the coast. As we were at the equator, it was warm enough to make the sea inviting. However, the couple working there didn't. Renee had a stable, conservative husband who might not be as understanding as my own husband. But calling a repair man to have an affair with? It's a lot like the 'Pool boy' stories that every one of our married friends has to tell. I didn't think about it for a while until two things happened at the house. The dishwasher started to make a funny noise and my husband Jeff told me he would be going to be out of town for a couple of days during the coming week. I asked him if he knew about the. "Yeah," Debbie said. "No one comes back here without reason."I told them everything. It came out so smooth and did it feel good to let it all out."Sounds fair enough," Debbie nodded."That's why Anthony came back," Natalie said."Lex?"

He says he saw two guys who looked like soldiers or professional wrestlers but they were dressed in housekeeping uniforms. One of them was carrying a briefcase. He says there was no way in hell they were really housekeeping staff. Three other people, two chicks and a dude, all of them dressed in housekeeping uniforms, too, met them and... flashed them with the same sort of thing that took Vic down. He says he saw two blue flashes and the guys dropped like they'd been shot. He went over to.
