Sophia is the girlfriend I've been looking formy whole life! I'm just sooo thrilled you decided to share her with me! Idon't know why 'Alex' is so shy... But I can put up with 'him' as long as Iknow 'Sophia' is waiting in the wings!"She looked at me with that sophisticated look. She took a deep breath andanother sip of her Cosmopolitan. 'Alex' was a bourbon and soda kind ofguy. 'Sophia' preferred the more feminine Cosmos. "Linda, there's a lot Ihaven't told you. Maybe if I did it would help you. She even sat by the table and cut up the vegetables.After dinner, there was a pudding of apple pie and custard. The pie hadbeen bought frozen at the supermarket and just needed baking in theoven. As for tea later that day, the children feasted on chocolate eggs."I'm going to arrange for your friends to come round again next week,"said John to Emma. "I think it is best if we told them. I hope for bothof your sakes that they don't turn nasty."Even though Emma and Michael were in agreement, they. Apparently he was very ‘easy going’ and didn’t mind what people did in these woods. However, his true meaning became more obvious. Did we want to see the photographs he’d just taken? My wife and I went ashen, I could hardly speak! We’d always been very careful to mask her face in any posted pics. This guy looked young enough to be friends with our sons and it was pretty clear he wanted to spread them around to others! For someone hiding in the woods he certainly took good pics. My wife’s face. Everything was softly muted and blended together into a jumble of indistinct outlines in an impressionistic blur that totally confused her brain.She reached out with her hand to touch the straight black line directly in front of her. It was real. It was hard. It was a metal bar like a bar in a jail cell. Not that Annie had ever been in jail. Her memory was not quite clear yet, but she was certain she had never been in jail. That is something a pretty, blond, blue eyed, 18 year old college girl.
