I tried to craw up on the floor in the corner I had been assigned. ‘Shhhhh be very quiet’ I woke up to see Maggie looking down at me. She quietly... asked me to my take off my shirt. I began to shed my shirt when I decided that getting naked while as smelly as I was wasn’t a good idea. She saw my hesitation and moved to take my shirt off herself. She then moved down to remove my shoes. I knew that as soon as she saw the days old socks I had on she would stop, however she tenderly took my socks. " I laughed at the picture she was painting and looked around to see if any of the shoppers in the Mall passing our table had noticed my outburst; they hadn't.

I didn't interrupt."I find it exhilarating to have this secret life going. ... to have a recommended guy I have never met call me, and then to invite him over. We both know. Mother used to say she never knew a man could be so insular and so self-centered. Daddy just ignored him. I wish I had..." She sounded sad, and I held her hand and gently brushed my finger across her smooth skin.We talked, or rather, I encouraged her to do the talking, and she rambled about her life and marriage, Brian growing up without a strong father figure, and the dynamics that led to her picking up and moving to Branson."I don't know what to do now that the bank job is gone..." She was. It was one of resignation to the inevitable. It looked like the time the man had spent as an assistant to Marguerite had not fully prepared him for dealing with Ed and Eddie.Taking a sigh, Peter said, "Yes, I found all of the bottles of that stuff some people call salad dressing. I put them all in a separate refrigerator along with other items that are only fit for barbarians. If you are ever in need of them, they are in the refrigerator we use for storing toxic waste."Lisa would have been hurt.
