Sitting at the dining table close to his mother, Adithya looked straight into her face. His mother looked beautiful. He was seeing her from a differen... point of view. Her charming face brought much relief to him. Gradually the fatigue gave way and he felt refreshed as he kept staring at her.Seeing him staring Nanda smiled and asked "what's up. Have I changed?" No, you have not changed but you look charming" he replied."Charming? Are you sure you are addressing me or do you have anyone in mind". " How many guys you got?" Tony asked Maureen."None, yet." You were ... kinda emotional last night," Tony mused. "Maybe you changed your mind." Why did you come?" Maureen asked."Dunno," Tony shrugged, looking away. "It was good, I guess. Troy and I do the other thing quite a bit -- and it works, obviously -- but it's different." You won't be doing that," Maureen pointed out. "It'll be me -- and someone else -- probably female." She pursed her lips. "Maybe not."She was bluffing -- but I'm not. Jaime gave me a very confused look before starting down the stairs. There was no pursuing this conversation, we each sat ourselves comfortably on the couch allowing the game to power up.Jaime started playing first. While he was engaging monsters in close combat, Maya came down the stairs with a tray of drinks and sodas as promised. She stepped slowly and carefully on each step in order to make sure she didn’t spill anything. This gave me ample opportunity to admire her figure in a profile. We sat almost in silence as we watched the slide show and the videos until finally there was a scratching at the door as my drunken wife fumbled with the entry card. I clicked the remote for the video camera and saw the green light come on. I remember wondering what footage we would be watching this time tomorrow…Andy and I both stood and moved to the hall as Marie swung the door open. She was clearly a little tipsy but she always hid it well and she hugged me and kissed my mouth and squeezed.
