I felt like I was the innocentfarm girl, tied with rope to the train tracks as the gigantic engineraced towards me, ready to take me forever. To dest...roy me. But inthis case destroy me with love, instead of tons of iron and steel."Flip the page, Cary. Look at the last photo in that album." Hepaused. "I have the feeling you're going to love it more than any ofthe others. I know we do."So I did.They were on the floor of this very townhouse. This very room. Thecouch and love seat had been. Then Suki turned to Ashley, “Sorry for my sister’s outburst. I’ll just take Carl here out of the room and keep him ... occupied for a while.” Suki had a wicked grin when she said that.But then Carl looked to me then covered his eyes as he said, “I am so sorry I didn’t mean to see you naked. I was only waiting for Ash to get back. I was going to prank her but I fell asleep.”Suki pulled Carl out of the room. But I still felt as if I were being watched.I was about to say something when Suki came. I shook my head. ‘You have no idea. Unless you’re a lot wilder than I think you are, I can top your antics on your best day.’ ‘We’ll see. After we skate a bit, we’ll have lunch – on me – and we’ll trade war stories,’ he said as he stood up, helping me to my feet. I prayed that I didn’t fall down too often. It had been twenty-five years since I’d last been on skates and I didn’t want a sore butt. Taking advantage of his help, I stumbled onto the ice and clumsily began to move. He skated. In another ceremony imported from England, but from the sailing community, a small cannon was fired and the hunt moved off slowly. This cannon was fired because the Emir had enjoyed visiting Cowes Week as a young man, but it also gave the quarry the opportunity of knowing when the chase started. It could not be heard from everywhere in the enclosure, so four other cannon were fired at the same time from points on the perimeter fence.The experienced hunters took the lead, moving off at a walk.
