On Thursday, they spent the day at North Beach. Roger hosted a huge farewell barbecue for their guests and all of his and Carol's families. Dave had a...n opportunity to say goodbye to everyone before he left early the next morning. He spoke briefly to Alan who told him he had identified twelve interested sponsors who were anxious for him to turn pro. Dave told Alan about his thinking; he would probably turn pro the following summer but was not yet going to make any announcement. Dave thanked his. Maybe a slightly off-center muscle.

I was now classed as ‘competent’ by her and kept a highly magnetised, magically enhanced rapier in a pocket dimension for occasions when I would be forced to go up against the Sidhe or other worlds where a code duello was in place (most all save Tiamatia and Phaëtonia). She was also training Róisín, Abi and I in the rudiments of knife fighting and various martial arts as well, in which she was somewhat an expert in the same way Mage Arch was an expert in concealed weaponry.Our time when not. Wendy recited Dr. Dunn’s interest in her pregnancy saying she’s likely making medical history. Karen mentioned Wendy is due near the 25th of November.Brian offered to treat everyone out to dinner but they had to decline because of their scheduled appointment with Dr. Mackenzie.Despite the cold day outside, Wendy and Karen sat in the backseat topless while Dan drove them to Belleville. He drove cautiously, stealing glances in the rear-view mirror as his two wives kissed and fondled the others.
