I went out onto the back deck and checked the hot tub and our pool. Our pool was one of a kind in that the exposed surfaces of the walkways around it ...had been constructed entirely of smooth stone and river rocks and it's on the site of an artesian spring. It looked very inviting and I hoped we'd be spending some time relaxing in it soon.I went back inside to look at our computer setup. The satellite connection was working even with the "DuPre" away from the island. I messaged Cheryl to please. I finished dressing and went down to the kitchen. As I sipped my coffee I watched Bea as she fixed the lunches for the kids to take to school. Her movements were quick and angry, like she was slamming things together only without the slamming sound. She finished the lunches and then set them aside and as she did she saw me watching her."What are you looking at?"Another unlikely Bea action. "Nothing, just sitting here sipping my coffee."She turned back to the counter and I walked over to her,. HR hiredVal about a month ago. To my amazement she has been a huge help. Evenmore than helpful, she is a 30 year old stylish girl next door that iseasy on the eyes. We seem to enjoy each others company, me only beinga few years older, we have things in common. I would tend to guess wehave more things in common than she would ever believe.Val sits in my office and crosses her legs at her ankles and brushesher long blonde hair behind her ears."How was your weekend Mr. Phelps?" Please call me. He will return in triumph at the head of his troops." Oh, I wish I could believe you," said the weeping woman, "Is it very wrong of me to want company and solace while he is risking his life?" No, ma'am; it is entirely natural for you to cling to someone you know." Then please make me forget him, at least for a few minutes. Do whatever you need to; hurt me, fuck me, anything. Just make me forget for a few moments."Robinson wondered whether anyone could possibly achieve that. Then he decided.
