"The lady you were with asked me to wait ten minutes and give this to you." I took it from her and saw that it was a note from Cookie to me."I've deci...ed to give you the fantasy that you have always wanted. See you at home."Give me my fantasy? I didn't have any fantasies. Why in the hell hadn't I been able to make her understand that? I sat in the booth another hour waiting for her to come back and then I went out to the car and waited another forty-five minutes before I accepted the fact that. . flushed, or something. She's ... excited." You mean sexually excited, don't you?" Nat said."Yeah. Like that, I guess. She doesn't act like Diana.

Just as. When she did look up there were three naked bodies looking straight back at her.Mrs Clusky froze mid-step as her eyes went from Gloria’s naked body closest to her then to Vanessa’s young naked body opposite her mother’s then to Jared’s naked body laying prone on that bed.Eventually Mrs Clusky, in her old ‘mother-hubbard’ dress, just let out a low whistle and said, “Well, Lordy, Lordy me! You younguns jist never change. Turn yuh back for a second and y’awl all at it like a bunch of jack-rabbits. I am glad to see the Baptists looking after their own, but maybe we need to give their people some help in procedures. I'm Catholic, and our church had to learn this in the Middle Ages. I won't talk about the abuses we poured on others until the church reached a level of confidence that allowed it to be tolerant. We are seeing that process here. Paul, these are not bad people. They're just lost. I'm beginning to think they don't have Heather and Sally." I hope you're wrong. It's all we.
