It isn't that I'm particularly thrifty or greedy. It's just that I don't need much. I've been living well within my means since long before the trust ...fund matured."It wasn't until I fell head over heels for Mouse that my needs started to expand. I'm going to buy the house and furnish it. Except for those two major expenditures we shouldn't have any trouble living on what Mr. Morris is paying me."Jan got up and stood in front of my desk, staring at me as if she was trying to figure me out.. Ellie looked up at me, enquiringly."That was my mum on the phone: she wanted to know if we wanted to go there for lunch later. It's not far, and there will only be my parents, my sister, and her daughter: they're all looking forward to meeting you." Sure, Jim, it sounds great! Will you drive us there?" Yeah; which means I need to go out now and get a couple of car seats for the kids." Okay, Honey; you do that while I finish up here."My car had been garaged for six weeks but it started without. " I have lots to tell you, too. I think it's best to wait until we're face to face." Does it have something to do with her journal?" Why can't you say her name? Yes, it has something to do with Kelley's journal." Will you come early and stay late?" I'll come early, but I'll need to get back. Kelley may want to do something later in the day." That's probably a good idea. Adam may want to 'do something' too."We ended the call, agreeing to talk on Saturday, the Fourth of July, to firm up plans for. Instead I relish in it, I enjoy beeing the slutty girl that your middleaged husbands turns his head after on the street, the girl that mothers warn their kids about. I am free to do exactly what I want because noone exspects anything of me. It is a freedom few have, but we always recognise eachother, a certain look across a crowded bar, a crooked smile shared when others stare at us.So if you shy away from things wild, taboo or just plain illegal, you should'nt read my story. But if you want to.
