"5.Night at the Hotel.Like she's got some kind of radar, Hazel's behind the desk when we pilein from the car park. We come with a whirl of laughter th...t complimentsthe genteel surroundings. Her eyes find mine; her eyebrows lift. I nod- I'm fine. While Gringo books us a table for dinner, I head off to myroom, but catch her eyes again as I'm about to mount the stairs. Sheinclines her head towards her office and I nod affirmative again. Iflash her my fingers and thumbs twice - I'll be down in 18. "I thought you said we are a family?" Sally replied stubbornly, her voice slightly muffled with her face buried in James's shirt.James looked up at Stacy with a smile and a raised eyebrow as if to say, "Well? Now what, smarty pants?"Stacy just shook her head, looking troubled."Okay, even if I concede that, and we are most definitely a family, Sally, all of us, what about how it would look? Your parents take her in and she immediately becomes part of your harem, James, and gives you all of her. He greeted me warmly and thanked me for sparing time for taking him around town. Soon we headed towards Rock garden. He spent a lot of time clicking snaps on his digital camera. While roaming around we talked about multiple things, culture, life aboard and in India and miscellaneous differences in our way of living and thinking vis-à-vis the westAfter we were through with Rock garden we headed to Sukhna Lake. But it got slightly warm and uncomfortable to stay out we decided to have early lunch.. Burning that bra only makes you need to buy another one." I'm going to burn it."I started to chase after her and she ran across the bed to escape. I realized that I wasn't so angry anymore. I managed to grab her and she started laughing. It was catching.We made up.Some time later I thought back on the argument. I couldn't believe how far she was willing to ask me to go to get what she wanted. I was also far from convinced that this was just an error in judgment. I believed that this was a fight.
