''Here'', she said, ''relax and cool off a little. I really appreciate your bringing those files. I've been on the sun-deck all afternoon, trying to get these supply orders straightened out, and I'm pretty sweaty. Go ahead and make yourself at home while I grab a quick shower.'' I could hear her puttering around in the bedroom as I sat and sipped my cool wine. My eyes landed on a photo album sitting on their coffee table. ''If you'd like to stay, I'll throw us together a light supper, maybe a salad or something.'' she called out over the splash of the shower. ''Mmmmm, sounds great.'' I yelled back, idly opening the album and flipping through the pages. |
