We’d grown up in a small town in the suburbs and never had the chance to eacape the watchful eyes of our parents. So, when college application time ...ame We were determined to go as far away from home as possible, while still being close enough to not cause worry. Dorming here was perfectStacy dad had drove us both up, and soon he wrapped up his good-bye’s and sped off. As soon as his car disappeared from view Stacy started squealing and ran into me for a hug.“Oh my god we're finally in college!. I bought a round and later Jon bought the next. He drank whiskey sours then a margarita. I drank beers. Jon seemed like a nice enough guy. He was between jobs and had lived in the area for some years. He is some sort of director of projects. He said he was not much into the outdoors, like I was. Tall muscular guy, must do well with the women. When he spoke he was very calm and his voice was mono tone.I felt relaxed from the drinks. I enjoyed the game. We gave each other shit about the other’s. The extreme anger and hatred consuming him moments before started to lessen their hold on him, and finally I felt his love."Thank you," he said. "You saved my life, Katy. At first I could think of nothing except my need to kill the man who took my father's life. I was blind to everything else. Between you and Sara, you made me realize I need to stay calm and approach what needs to be done with a clear mind. I love you, sweetheart, and thank you."He hugged me tightly and gave me a kiss full of. We hiked back to the cottage, put away the shopping and took a bottle of wine we'd bought out to the garden. Looking back I see this as practice for the domesticity that was to come, we clicked and worked as a team, not getting in each-others way.Lorraine cast off all her clothes and lay out on the grass, Kelly followed suit and they applied sun-tan lotion to each other. I'm not good in full sun, so I stuck to shorts & t-shirt in the shade, watching on appreciatively to the show. The girls.
