Mary broke the kiss so I could pull her dress over her head, then I took a step back to admire her naked body. She looked radiant. Despite her large, ...round stomach, she wasnt fat, and her skin had a lustrous shine to it. Her breasts were full, still perky, her areolas had grown larger, and a red tint darkened her dusky nipples. So beautiful, I whispered. Even when Im all fat and ugly? she asked. You are not ugly. I missed you so much, Mare. She smiled, and asked, Even with all those hot,. I just wanted a man to reassure me that I was still attractive. The woman in your picture was a lot younger and hotter than I am and I had begun to transfer my need to be desired over to him. It was kind of like my personal version of the Stockholm syndrome.”I thought, “He might not be good at photoshopping but he is a genius at seduction. He couldn’t have played on Janet’s insecurities any better if he had actually been married to her for 17 years.”Then she hesitated. I didn’t want to hear. With all the new females coming here and to Harmony, I have a chance of finding someone who wants me, for me, like James has.” James looked at his brother in surprise. “Ah come on Bro, I’ve seen the way she looks at you. It makes me green with envy that you’ve found such a gorgeous woman that loves you as she obviously does. Well, I want that too. Mother, I love you, but I’ll not go through what you did to James.”“I think Trixy’s idea is a bloody good one. You know I enjoy working in our shop. Oh gods, was he going to blow up the phone booth with her inside it?!“PLEASE please please, don’t do this! I didn’t do nothing to ‘ya, please don’t pull the pin.”The figure, silent as always, leaned down and unceremoniously pulled the pin. Joyce backed into the far corner of the booth and into a fetal position. The figure stepped backwards and back into the rainy darkness outside. Joyce screamed, a last ditch effort to get help of any kind before…PFFTTTTNo explosion. No boom. Joyce looks up.
