Stapleton, yesterday was a bit different and you mentioned continuing the meeting with Paul today and I just wanted to get your take on that – I don...��t want to let you or the Bank down”“ Sally, you did really well yesterday, although I didn’t expect you to squirt all over Pauls face (laughter) but no matter we’ve had the carpet cleaned and we know what to expect now. As for today you are meeting Paul in the same room and as I said yesterday you and he can continue the discussion from where you. He let half of his body back in through the door, an expectant look on his face. ‘You really don’t hate me?’ she asked. Brandon’s heart ached at those words. Hate her? She was the first girl he’d actually fallen in love with. He knew where those words were coming from, but then… He reentered the room, closed the door behind him, and walked up to her. Then he leaned and pressed a chaste kiss to her lips. He felt Isabel’s breath hitching for a moment, her hands stiffening. When he pulled away,. ’ ‘Tell your dad I feel obliged to get prices from two other yards, one in Aussie. He’ll know what boatyards they are. Tell him I’ll ensure the launching receives TV coverage.’ ‘TV coverage guaranteed?’ ‘Guaranteed.’ ‘Sounds good. Can we go out somewhere on Saturday night Jack and then come back here?’ ‘Have you forgotten you’re married Faye?’ ‘Oh yes that was a hopeful oversight, wasn’t it?’ * * * Eleven months later Jack met his mom at the airport. She’d come to the launching of the new ferry. “Are you okay?”“Yes,” Hermione said. “I’m more than okay, Ginny. That definitely helped and was more enjoyable than swimming, though I really don't want to explain how my breasts got so sunburned. However, flying still makes me nervous, even when I have such amazing distractions, so can we go back down now?”“We’ll go back down,” Ginny said with a smile. She kissed Hermione again before she helped her pull the swimsuit back into place.“You know, we have a similar way of handling bad dreams,”.
