..fall...fall, and the memory shifts yet again, before you hit the water with a big splash.You are drawn to a further memory, walking with me in publi...c, my hand holding your wrist, sometimes letting go to dance up your arm, and slip behind your hair, to lightly play with the hair there, and alternately grip it tightly for a second, eliciting a light gasp, before trailing back down your arm, and holding your wrist again. "Such a good girl, my sweet. So good of you to maintain control, even here. But I appreciate the offer." Oh come on," said Chad, "You really should come. I tell you what, I'll make you a deal. If you agree to come to the party tonight, I'll buy you any books you want."Now here was an offer worth considering, Carol thought. She really didn't want to go to the party. She loathed such things. But any book she wanted… Na, he had to be pulling her leg."Oh really?" said Carol. "And I suppose I wouldn't get to pick this book until after I went to the party tonight? Nice try,. “Are we done here?”“For now.” He nodded. “Come see me next week after I talk to the Board of Directors at Masters Energy. It will be a long process.”“I’ve got time.” She sighed, holding her shapely hips and smiling. “Next Monday, then. Maddi I’m running to the bathroom. See you outside?”Maddi gave a muted reply. “Yeah, sure. I want to ask Evan a little more about the Masters Foundation.”She wanted until the shut tightly before asking. “Has the Fire Marshal determined the cause of the fire?”. I taped her spare key onto the other side of the mirror, trying to make it symbolically symmetrical.I took a couple of snaps, taking in her back and the vision in the mirror and then pulled off the hood."Oh, wow," she said. The belt was made of black leather with a kind of silver metallic trim and decorated with chrome studs with a chain that ran over the surface through her legs and up to the back clasp. The waist belt was sufficiently tight that there was no way out."Do a twirl."She obliged.
