The plan was for me to join them all on Friday for the weekend. That gave the girls a couple of days alone with Alan.Tricia’s parents had left the d...ay before to go skiing in Utah and her brother was out of the country for that school year. Alan came over to Tricia’s early in the evening for a dinner the girls had prepared.The girls had used the oven. And they had the heat cranked in the house.

Azura resumed dancing with the younger guy who didn’t seem to even notice that mica had discarded his buddy for some other guy.Azura started to realise she was actively looking for the muscular guy with the tattoos so much so she was now dancing at the edge of the dance floor with her young dancing partner.

The SOLARs headed towards their quarters, trying not to think of the empty spot in the platoon. Some would shed their tears.
