In the second streambed I hit more color. Pushing through the brush I found a depression a short distance upstream. I dug in the lowest spot and looke... through the sand. I found several nuggets the size of my thumb. Excited I looked further upstream. I found a quartz outcropping and saw a vein of gold laced quartz at the edge. I tried to pick out as much of the gold as possible but couldn't get to most of the exposed gold without a pickax. Defeated in my attempt to get the gold out, I still. I hear moans and blissful sighs coming from the darkened sides of the room, but all I can see is shadows. "Take off that dress and let me see you," the man orders.

The rules here are simple: screw however many people you. I’ve always thought about this moment, but never realized that it would actually happen.” I could see her breath had increased; she fanned herself with her hands as the reality of my proposition began to set it. “Sam listen, I know you are aware of my situation and my marriage. I’ve given this a lot of thought and, well, I want to explore my feelings for you. The idea of spending time with you brings such a sense of possibility for me. It is making me remember how much I once used to love life. It’s covered. Here, this is my number. We’re also doing it at my place this weekend,” I scribble down my number and address on a piece of paper. “So, tomorrow, we usually meet up about seven, sound good?” “That works for me, gives me a chance to do my chores beforehand,” Addison lets the last bit whisper out, smiling again. “Wicked, I’ll see you then,” I go to turn on my heel. I have the biggest smile on my face, feeling flush with excitement. “Oh, Jenna?” I hear her call after me. I turn.
