What Now?
Deysi is in the bath. The last three days have been made up of long mornings and afternoons at a disaster preparedness conference in Chicago. There have been expensive dinners paid by her employer and morning sex and evening sex with the occasional afternoon romp. It’s Wednesday and she is wondering how Richard is doing at home in San Francisco getting the girls ready for school. Her mind wanders as her eyes patrol the green walls, the glass shower at the foot of the tub, her red painted toes wiggling against the white enameled steel.

He was moving to and fro in the drawing-room. The entire family assembled in the living room after hearing what Ron was about to do. This step that Ron was firm on taking will ruin the future of the two families. 'Take time Bro. Do not hurry into such decisions. Think about it.' advised Mike, Ron's elder brother.
