‘No need to mention the bullet wound’ he thought. Valerie paused, trying to calm the rampant emotions coursing through her at hearing Michael’s ...oice. ‘I’m glad your ok Michael I have been worried about you, I was delayed here at my uncles and have been trying to get in touch with you too put off dinner, guess we will have to take a rain check on it,’ Valerie sighed a bit while saying this. All she wanted was to rush to Michael but uncle Ian had told her that she needed to stay at the castle. ”Uh, yeah, sorry, ”I stammered, ”I'll catch supper. You just watch out for the game warden if you're going to sun topless.”I climbed back into the kayak and pushed off.

The creek ran slow in this area, so setting out trotlines was easy. I just had to be careful of snakes and gators in the bullrushes. I set. "We thought it would be quicker than sticking to the road." "But we heard your car come down and we thought, bugger, we could have got a lift." "Well we'll um, get changed." John muttered. "You lot look like you need a swim." Amy and John walked over to the rocks and picked up their clothes. John pulled up his swimmers under the towel and flicked the towel back to Mario. "Cheers mate." He said. Amy dropped the towel to the sand and stood naked in front of them. The three lads. Once inside she asked me why I did not attend the function. I told her that I was busy; I inquired how the function went. She just said OK and then added that we missed you and again the smile was there before getting out on my floor I just bid here a see you. I was again confused on her last statement of missed you?After a couple of days I had come late from one of my site and the next day got up pretty late. My wife had left for her office and son was already in school. I was taking a nice.
