Finally Lady Mathom grasped Alice’s hands firmly and looked into her eyes. “You must be sure to take very good care of these Alice. They are full ...f magic and very precious.”“Th… thank you My Lady.” Alice could think of nothing more sensible to say.“Would you do something for me Alice?”“Aye! I.. I mean yes My Lady.”“Would you play that piece for me again? I only caught the latter part. I would love to hear all of it.”Of … of course My Lady.”“Thank you Alice.” Lady Mathom relinquished Alice’s. I wanted her to talk to me. I wanted her to tell me when and how it had happened."David, I'm so sorry. I would never hurt you deliberately. I don't know what I was thinking." I know Jill. But it did hurt. It hurt me very deeply and I'm still having trouble dealing with it."The silence between us grew but I was determined to let her tell me what had happened and that meant being patient."Was I right about when it started?" I finally asked."Yes... yes. About a month ago. How did you know?" Jill,. She sat back down on the sofa and I fetched us all another beer and sat back down, we were all feeling a little more comfortable.“What’s the rent?” Danni asked, “Good question” I responded having to think quick, “You don’t actually pay rent Danni, you just have to do chores around the house” I said hoping that was a good enough answer, “Oh and keep the landlord happy” and I have no idea why I said that but Harry was nodding in approval, “And his friends” he said with a grin laughing. I could. Jen had mentioned a few things, for which she could see a need. Of course the body guard things, she always seemed to push me toward those, and something I had never really thought about. A company that specialized in surveillance. Yes it was mostly following husbands and wives to catch them in the act, There were other things as well. People steeling from industrial or construction sites would also be subjects of interest.That sounded about half interesting until I remembered some really long.
