I woke up tied up and they were asking me where I keep all my money I replied "In the bank" one guy said "oh we have a smart one do we" them the othe...r said so "boss what are we gonna do I'm not coming all this way for nothing" the biggest one replied "don't worry Shane I have a better idea" and looked at me with a smirk on his face then he said "Wright boys take of your clothes let's have some fun" and they all stripped I said "what the fuck are you doing let me go please I'll give you what. Ian’s a great guy. I’m glad they’re taking things slow, especially with Sofía in medical school and Ian doing graduate work.”“How about Tom and Rashmi? Off to London again?”She shook her head. “They’re at the school too. Rashmi’s becoming more involved.

"Hey, it's OK," he said softly as he moved around to crouch beside her chair. He made certain he left her plenty of room for her to flee if she wanted and he made no move to touch her. It turned out that he didn't need to. Lupe wrapped her arms around his neck as soon as he was close enough and cried against his shoulder."It's OK," Miguel said again, patting her softly on the back. "I didn't mean to make you cry. We just wanted you to know that we really enjoy having you here. That's all.". I was not going to build another mini me. Well maybe forcing her to be independent was a mini me, I thought..She worked right through lunch and missed the midday hike. Since we weren’t used to company on our walks, Mikah and I didn’t mind. It was a treat for Mikah when she had a new friend, but she didn’t seem to have an opinion about Janet one way or the other.During the afternoon, while Janet continued to work, I did something I had been wanting to do since I came off the road. After I.
