Chapter 27

“You know what, we have time now, so sit down—just a quick catch up. I've really missed you, Alena. This place isn't the same without you.” She walks to the sofa, sitting, waiting for me to follow. I guess I can live with it. Walking over, I sit next to her.

“Okay, what do you want to know? Maybe try one or two questions at a time, not like fifty.” She is laughing at my expression. She knows she does it, asks too many questions, and I get lost and confused in them all.

“Where do I start? Obviously, you've done the deed, so what was he like? What is he hiding? The way he had you up on the kitchen counter when we walked in on you was unlike anything I have ever seen before.” Wow, straight in with the big questions.

“I'm not sure how best to answer that, Georgina, so yes, we've had sex.” I try thinking of her other questions, and I get it. She likes details, a lot of details. I just don’t know how to say it without glowing like a beacon.
