Anyway, I’ve missed seeing you.” She didn’t realize how much she was smiling. He had grown so and was beginning to look like a man. “I like th...e idea of you just sticking your head in the door and asking me if you could come in and talk. My, my, my how much you have grown, and how handsome you look. Don’t hesitate to come in anytime if you don’t make a pest out of yourself.” she laughed. “What’s on your mind?”“Well Mrs. Cratterfield, like you said I’ll be graduating in the spring and am looking. We immediately froze all royalty payments so that they could not locate you through them. The royalties are being held by the publisher in a special fund, awaiting our instructions." Kyle and Emma, have you noticed any new faces in town, especially Latino faces? People that seemed to be paying too much attention to you?"Emma shook her head but Kyle immediately responded. "Yes there is one. An older man and a girl my age. We talked at the pizza place, and she knew Emma's name, but thinks she is. "From your dull, perfect life." I whispered back."My life is NOT dull!" I never realized a person could shout in a whisper before."Isn't it?" I replied, "I see your eyes, even now. The hunger for something more, some excitement to transport you beyond the kids' lunches, supervising servants, and social clubs full of blue-haired busybodies."Her eyes grew large and she twisted to look at me. I let her, but kept my grip on her nipple, continuing my manipulation. "How do you know so much about me?. Turning towards me, she took my hand again. "Christian's uncertain about me becoming pregnant." I heard he was adamantly opposed to it," I argued."Your wife has a big mouth," she smirked."I'm actually quite fond of my wife's mouth." Me too. You know Christa and I planned all this, coming to Paris alone." I figured." I knew Chris would not be able to come here early. I knew he was in the midst of negotiations. The whole pregnancy issue has been a divisive one ever since you ... did whatever you.
