That summer, bored and not particularly looking forward to her husband’s return, Isabella had been pleased to greet Roberto and a friend when they s...topped to water their mounts at the farm’s troughs. They greeted each other as old friends and inquired after each other’s health and happiness. Roberto’s friend was Paulo, a strapping young man, very full of himself and inclined to swagger. He tried to catch Isabella’s eye several times and he developed a slightly unattractive leer when she spoke. “Kevin and Denise, you’re on the advisory group list. You’re excused.”We looked at each other in shock, but the greatest shock was to the class when we stood to pick up our backpacks. The classroom exploded in noise; whistles and shouts rang out as we dashed out the door, leaving behind a thoroughly bemused teacher and a stunned group of students.Denise grabbed my arm as we hurried along. “What’s this all about? We didn’t sign up and we weren’t interviewed. This is crazy!”“It is indeed. We’ll. Right? Crazy in love with you?” When he nodded, I stated, “She’s utterly embarrassed and cried like a baby when I confronted her. I think that was a cause, perhaps just a minor one, for her being so excited to, essentially, give you sex affairs with your daughters, your many daughters, and their mothers, and others. I told her then that I’d give her time to tell you, but she was so scared you’d divorce her. I told her I thought you’d be hurt – yes, I know, duh, but that you loved her so much. "We're just getting started, we have all day." He pulled his hand away, then rested it at the swell of her hip, on the waistband of her jeans. "Here's how this works, Janice. Not only will you do anything I say, you will feel whatever I tell you to feel. I don't mean emotions: I can't make you fall in love with me, don't worry. But I do mean I can tell you to, oh, think about nothing but the way your breasts feel." She had only an instant to think, What the heck? before her mind filled with.
