I was going to walk up to his door, knock and ask if I could come in. In my mind I had imagined that he would know immediately why I was there, and be... so full of desire for me that he would invite me in and the rest would take care of itself.Walking through the village my adrenaline fuelled butterflies were so powerful they made my breathing shallow and my legs weak.After the short walk of a few minutes I was there.I stood across the road and took as deep a breath as I could manage, stepped off. Silky had both and to top it off a set of eyes so green, they would make an emerald jealous. She was, as he said, pretty and not vain about it, smart, sexy, sweet tempered and on the rebound. To put is simply, she was all he dreamed for in a woman except the rebound part, and hell, beggars couldn’t be choosers. Time to figure out how to make her, his.He let her talk and pour her heart out all the way home and for about 20 minutes in his driveway and even asked her in for a cup of coffee. At. Gladly! Butfor this... I still need a few more weeks, and I'm going to do everythingI can to see it through. And then... then... I hope you'll fullyunderstand." If you would just tell me, I might understand now!"Mark shook his head. "I dare not," he replied. "Not yet. Not yet." You will get punished, young man!" Bill said. Then he turned to leave."Dad?" Yeah?" I know I deserve the punishment. And I'll take it gladly... whatever itis."Bill looked at Mark for a moment, then shook his head. "Thank you, Miss, please hold out your right wrist please I need to attach your event bracelet."Not knowing what else to do Elaine held out her right wrist and wondered what they were going to do with it, slap her hand with a ruler for being naughty.Petra merely smiled kindly, withdrew a copper coloured elasticated wristband with "415" embroidered on it in large white numbers. Slipping it over Elaine's right hand and letting it gently fit around her wrist."Petra, what is all this about? I don't.
