Her smile was teasing. Just then I heard a door open and I cast a glance in the general direction. Channy stepped onto the patio carrying three towels... Her slender figure silhouetted though a flimsy full length gown, her long blonde hair tied back in a high pony tail. She left the towels on a nearby table. “It is a good view, David” Gilly quipped innocently poking her toe into my leg. I shot her a glance. “Guess I’m buying dinner then” she said, taking a sip of champagne. “Gilly you cheated!”. All I will tell you is it isn't very nice." Maggie stared at Jennifer, then asked, "Since you know Deanna's secret, what are you going to do about it?" "Nothing, Nothing at all. I made a decision Saturday.

Me neither..."It just seemed to be the general pattern of things ... how everyone was going around not talking about anything, yet more was happening than ever before."Do you think you guys are going to start talking about things?"My phone started beeping. "Hang on just a second, other line..." Okay."I hit a couple of buttons, "Hello?" Hi."I knew the quiet voice anywhere."Hey." How are you?" Good, hang on just a second..." Okay." Maddie?" Yeah?" I have to go." Okay, love.
