James asked about living so far out in the country, what it was like, and how did Jeff manage to run the farm as well as hold down a teaching job in t...e next town, all of 40 miles away. They seemed to be getting on very well, and I wasn’t sure, but I thought I saw Amanda cast a few questioning looks at her husband, who seemingly totally ignored them. After dinner, Jeff offered to show James the farm, and though it was dark, he said that the barn had electricity, and he had good lights on his. "Where is everybody?", he asked, trying to sound as casual as possible."Well, Dave's at work, and Julie's at a friend's house. Dave's going to pick her up on the way home.", said Tina, "And Johnny's in the pool trying to cool off." Yeah, I sure has been hot lately.", replied Ray, watching his sister's sexy little butt wiggle down the hallway. 'And getting hotter!' he thought."Why don't you go and join him, Ray?", suggested Tina, "I'm sure a nice cool dip is just what you need after your long. . yes, okay. Still, I would be a little concerned that if she is on his side that we might end up shooting ourselves in the foot. Still, maybe...” he said. His wife smiled.“Marian isn’t Julian. He might not want the money, but her?” she said. It was Blake’s turn to smile.“I see what you mean. Yes, we have to be careful. If she just up and suggests to him, however obliquely, that we have rewarded her in advance for being good to him, as unlikely as something like that might be, we might still. I noticed one table after another the men shook their heads no. Then one trucker sitting alone turned around and looked at me for the longest time and turned back and said something to my waitress. She looked my way and gave me thumbs up.The trucker went to check out and I ran behind him and said hi I’m Toby are you able to help me? He turned and said “that depends,” and turned back around and paid his bill and walked away. I quickly handed the cashier a twenty dollar bill for my dinner and ran.
