The night arrived and his friend collected me in his car, i was wearing a black basque, black fishnet stockings and a tight black sheer thong and my u...sual high heels.We drove to the golf club and he told me they were presenting the guy with a retirement present and then i was supposed to come out behind a curtain and surprise him, throughout the drive there he kept glancing at my legs and as it was hot i took my coat off and placed it on the back seat.How he managed to keep the car on the road. “Joyce and I broke up after sleeping together, he knew it, and not only am I still alive, but when it happened, he took MY side!”Which wasn’t exactly the way things unfolded, but for the purposes of this conversation it was accurate enough.“Seriously?”“You’ve read my journals, so you know what happened between Kara and Joyce. And why I kicked Joyce out of my life for a time. He took my side. His one mistake was giving Anthony control of the underworld operations.”“So why is Anthony pissed at. ‘What happened?’ Luke asked now. ‘What happened to our baby girl?’ For days, Sarah had felt some pain in her lower abdomen, but it came and went, never so painful she couldn’t stand it. She had made a doctor’s appointment because of it. Ironically, that’s where they’d been headed when it happened. By then, the pain was so much worse. She had been sitting in the car beside Luke when a sliver of agonizing pain had shot up her belly. The next thing she remembered was waking up in the hospital.. She joined Kalea, discarding her shoes and jumping into an adjacent lounge chair. Neither said anything for several minutes as they both watched the setting sun."I'll never get over it," Mayoni said quietly. "How beautiful it is..."Kalea remained silent for a few moments, and then asked, "Did you tell Hiapo the good news?" He was asleep. He left us a note." Mayoni handed her sister a folded slip of paper.Kalea opened the note and read it out loud: "I knew it would work. Congratulations to us.
