Little did I know how lucky I was to become.Looking at her watch, she said, "It's almost ten thirty now and I have acouple of other calls to make. You... get dressed as your feminine personaand I'll be back after lunch, let's say two o'clock. Get dressed as if youwere going out in the daytime. And don't over do the make up, I wouldsuggest little or none, but that's up to you." I jumped up and as exited as a young puppy, after she picked up herbriefcase I escorted her to the door saying, "You can't. I was smitten almost at once. Avery was suave, sophisticated, and brilliant. He dressed in those wonderful tweed jackets the English wear … you know, the ones with the leather patches on the sleeves?

But in God's name, it was the least she could do for her darling Gil, now... and if she did it well, Katie, too, would be saved from the lecherous little monster's filthy clutches.Of course, Jan had said nothing to Gil of her plans!

The floor was warm—Ms. Hubbard, the owner of the company, had insisted on radiant heat as well as a complete HVAC system—and Robin wiggled her toes in the carpet after removing her pumps. Her slacks and panties went into her locker as well as her sweater. She felt freer than she had all day.She took a deep, appreciative breath of the sweet-smelling air. She'd tried to identify what it was in the air, but could only say it was something floral. Whatever it was, though, it seemed to charge her.
