Danny walked into the room leaving Mrs. Shapiro in the hallway. There were chairs scattered around the room in a haphazard manner. Danny grabbed a cha...r and turned it to face the chair on which Stephanie was seated. He made a large production of wiping off the seat of the chair. Then he sat down facing her. He was now getting his first good look at her. She was cute, but nothing exceptional.’Oh, God. He’s going to try to talk me in into dating Steve,’ Stephanie thought.Danny said, “Susan Cain. I’ve never been here before.”“Have you had a massage before?”“No.”“May I offer you one for free?”“I would have to give you something.”“Let’s just say it would be my pleasure.”The two nineteen year olds stare into each other’s eyes with smiles on their faces.“Follow me. I’ll take you to the secret place.”“You mean out of the way?”“I mean out of the way where we can be alone.”Umut, beginning to feel hard, but able to suppress the desire, holding his towel judiciously, rises and follows Mehmet. Christmas and the rest of the holidays were wonderful, our secret stayed safe until the end of June. We were at the park for another picnic when Loretta did the hand over her mouth number again and whispered to Martha. Martha smiled. Loretta screamed. Why does she always do that? The family came running. We all sat down at a table and the questions began. No one could hear anything for the cacophony of noise, it sounded like rush hour in Manhattan. Someone did not like the noise and started. We’d enjoyed some quiet lovemaking with each other, Wendy even surrendering to Melody’s attention and then devoting herself to Lissa. But in the quiet, after we’d settled and pretended to be asleep, the bed still shook with our mourning. We clutched each other, trying desperately to fill the hole Kate’s of departure.We sat in our usual seats in the living room, still dressed. Wendy sat on the arm of my chair as Lissa and Melody cuddled on the sofa.“What’s the agenda, Little One?” Lissa asked.
