Soon it would cease to be cute though, and blur the line into obscenity. I was happy to be at work. The warm weather and our summer sale meant a lot m...ore activity for the dealership. It would have been a terrible, lonely week, otherwise.I knew I needed to spend some time with my dad. But I also wanted to give him another opportunity to... entertain someone, discreetly. KT was free Thursday night, so we made plans to meet at my house. I'd take her to spend the night at Shale Rock, maybe get in. She had a sweet sounding voice and he could tell she must have had some education from the way she choose not to speak with the New York City slang everyone used like a familiar pair of old shoes.The daughter's name was Josie and she was a little doll with big eyes and a shy nature.Gina drifted away to greet some old friends who had moved out to the Island and seldom ventured back into the city streets. Sal sat next to Stephanie and they talked about Kitty. He was only slightly acquainted with. Guess whose picture was on the desktop?Then, after that Spring Break, I started noticing a pattern of Nell not being available.Generally there were two days a week, Wednesday and one other, when Nell often told me at lunch, or called me later, to say that she was now going to be busy and we’d have to cancel our arrangements. It never happened weekends. Wednesdays tended to be early evening, and she always said that she needed to catch up on her own studies afterwards, so we couldn’t get. She had to be over sixty but I could see that she must have been a real knock-out in her young and even not-so-young years.My parents hugged me first, then came my sisters, and then my father pushed the lady forward."Rudy, this is Veronica Langner."My eyes popped open. She smiled at me."Please, I don't plan to be a nuisance. Only, when I heard that Robert is still alive I just had to come."I had to shake my head. "Well, then by all means welcome! Robert will be surprised, that's for sure."Six.
