We entered the elevator together after a quick introduction with Caroline. Constance kept close to Saul, in fact leaning against him and away from us ...ike a shy child.Downstairs we found Eddie and Rhonda jamming like they had before. Saul leaned over and whispered and Eddie responded. They nodded. Eddie didn’t look too disappointed.“Oh well,” he said after Saul left, setting aside his twelve string and pulling out his little metal box, and the joint from it.I remained hovering in the hallway,. After everyone finished guffawing, they asked him, “So, what the hell are you supposed to be, Jimmie?”Jimmie paused to let the tension build, then said, “I’m Markie!”There was a puzzled silence as everyone looked at each other, then back at Jimmie.

She hugged him and leaned forward and up, to lick his ear and whisper, “There is absolutely nobody home right now.” Robby pulled back slightly and looked at her curiously. “Well, no kids anyway, and Lauren is probably going to come home very late and very drunk. We can go downstairs and have all sorts of privacy.” She nuzzled against him and nibbled on his neck, driving him slightly nuts in the process.“Uh, let’s go!” Robby took her by the hand and led her back to the table they had been.
