"Hello?" Hey, Jack. No ones home. Do you think you can come over? I'm really bored and I have no homework." I dont have homework, either. Sure, Ill be... over in a minute." Okay."I hung up. Kate almost never called me over when no one was home, mostly because of what she thought I would want to do. I ran downstairs and told my mom where I was going, then walked across the street to Kate's house.She wasnt downstairs, so I pounded up the stairs and into her room. Her TV was on and she had a blanket. "Why?" It ain't decent walking around like that in front of your father like you do."I laughed softly."What ain't "decent" is the way you keep trying to get a good look. I just figured I would make it easier for you so you don't have to peek in my room."I walked over and stood in front of him. He had his usual array of empties on the coffee table. I turned around slowly in a full 360°. His eyes were huge and I noticed he had his hand in his lap probably trying to hide his erection."You oughta. One of them, in particular, caught his attention.It was a grey mare with black stockings. The horse appeared to have been ridden recently and only hurriedly groomed after the saddle was removed. Judging by the sweat and hair embedded in the blanket next to it, the saddle she had worn was sitting on the top rail of the mare's stall. When he examined the saddle, he saw where some blood had been wiped off, about where the rider's left thigh would rest.Alex added this to the other information he. "Oh!" I blurted, suddenly remembering. "I was going to call you this morning, but..." You only have my office number," Kate said, finishing my thought."Yeah. You ready to swap digits?" Where are you going to put your digits?" she asked mischievously."Hmmm," I mused, waggling my fingers. "Where would you like them?" I leaned toward her, with only half my attention on the stop-and-go traffic."In my phone," she said with a smile.I gave her my three main phone numbers and she stored them in her.
