And to top it off you have the gall to think it's easy being a woman! I guess you think your life would be better if you were female?" Look", I said, ..."I came over to apologize, not to get into some silly bullshit argument with you! Obviously you aren't ready for that so I'll just go." Sylvia was standing between me and the door, her bulk filling the small hallway leading to the door. She turned to one side and I squeezed by her.Suddenly with a wild cry Sylvia launched herself at me like some. She now quickly started eating what was left on her plate.She was finishing her last bite when her phone buzzed. She turned it around to read the message, “Excuse yourself by saying you are tired and head straight to your room. Close the door but leave it unlocked. Switch off the lights, get naked but tie a blindfold and face the wall.”Shruti didn’t waste much time. She excused herself, stating she wasn’t too well and headed back to her room. As she walked back, she became even more self-aware. Chrissy bent down to eye level with Barbara. She spoke softly, in ayoung woman's manner that didn't belong to Chris. "Mom, I have to visitthe ladies room. I'll be right back." Sweetie, maybe I'd better go with you. Mia, you stay here and watchour..." but Barbara again was cut off, and she felt Chrissy's gentlehand on her shoulder."Mom... I said I'll be right back." Barbara took the hint, as Chrissyturned and walked out of the waiting area, disappearing into the crowd.Barbara turned to her elder. Playing with his own naked body and making him feel like maybe he had actually drowned somewhere on that river and this was some sort of heaven he was now in.It was all these thoughts that now clamoured around inside Keith’s head as he washed himself in that shower and as he realised only too fully why he had slept in. He also had to laugh at the fact that it was only this time yesterday that he was saying goodbye to his own family and heading off from home to start his week long river.
