John picked up immediately, “You ready, Honey?” I asked.“Yeah, I just got in bed. What do you want to talk about tonight?”I giggled, “We pre...ty much covered everything two people could do last Friday night.”“Yeah, we did take it to an extreme.” John chuckled, “But it did the trick.”“Oh, it sure did. I keep thinking back to that first night that you held me when I was so upset with myself. In a way, that was even sexier than what we did on Friday. What do you think, John?”“Yeah, I keep thinking.

By the time she had finished, Ron had built a wall, about 18 inches high, with stones that he had picked up. The wall was about 6 feet in front of the "tent" opening and Ron was starting to stack a few limbs in front of the stones as if to build a fire. He had broken a lot of the twigs into small pieces and put dry leaves under the leaves to.
