“I don’t know how I let this happen.” “It’s ok, Buddy. You can stay at my place.” “Are you sure?” “Of course. Jessica’s out of tow.... It’ll be just the two of us.” Zak was part of the reason why I’d lost track of time. He was a charming guy, just a couple of years older than me, of athletic build with short light brown hair and blue eyes. I’d only just met him that evening and was intrigued by his stories. He’d lived in several parts of the world and encountered so many different experiences. Dear Lord. This is trouble. Well, whatever. We’ll see what happens -- probably nothing.Yup, you guessed it. They knocked off at 4:30, having finished the job, and from what I can see, it looks pretty good. Three of them headed for their cars, and you’ll never guess who knocked on the frame of my open office door.“Mister Don,” she said, “I don’t mean to interrupt, but do you have time? I’d sure like to see Cindy’s Citation!”Like a fool, I said, “OK, Teresa. Let’s step out to the hangar.” We. " Zane!" they heard Bella exclaim. The petite blonde, now six months pregnant walked up wearing a wine maternity dress that reminded Zane of the dress she was wearing the night they met. "When did you get here?" Just now," said Zane smiling. "I was wishing Grant here a happy birthday." He even got me a gift," said Grant, holding up the bag.Bella took the bag, "I'll put this with the other gifts. That was so nice of you Zane. Well, have a drink and enjoy yourself."'I already did, ' Zane thought. From every other angle it is invisible. Of course, if you are speeding, you might miss it.’ Eamon shook his head. ‘Oh great, I’ve been here ten minutes and I’ve already pissed off the Progenitor. Hey, wait a minute. How did YOU facilitate it? That doesn’t make any sense.’ The girl smiled again. ‘It was my Christmas present to Daddy about eight years ago.’ Again Eamon was lost. ‘My being a fucking idiot was your present to your daddy? Talk to me.’ The girl talked like she was educating some.
