‘Why are you staring at me?’ she heard him say with his eyes still shut tight.
‘Just looking,’ she laughed.
‘You’re creepy,’ he mumbled.
‘I know.’ She lay back and hugged herself with happiness. ‘I’m going to give a dinner, a fundraiser for the hospital. Will you come?’
‘Of course,’ he said, his eyes still closed.
‘Will you wear your suit again?’ she teased, and rolled over on top of him.
‘If it will make you happy,’ he said, as he wrapped his arms around her.
She felt his hard-on beneath her and wriggled down until she felt him slip easily inside her. He gasped with pleasure and she laughed, sitting on top of him. He held her breasts as she ground herself into him and he pulled her down on to him and flipped her onto her back. Now it was her turn to gasp as she felt him fucking her hard. He grabbed under her ass and she felt herself about to come.
‘Jesus, Christ,’ she said breathlessly, as Jeff’s rhythm got faster.
Soon he came with her. He rolled off. ‘Sorry, I don’t know where that came from. I hope I wasn’t too rough.’
‘Are you kidding? I love it fast and furious. I love it when you are taken over by passion, I love sex in any form and I love it all the better with you,’ she said, smiling at him, her hair tumbled around her face.
‘You do something crazy to me, Miss Violet. You are like a drug I can’t get enough of.’
He lay on his side and kissed her arm. She rolled over to face him, and he gently circled a rosy nipple with his finger.
‘What do you want to do today?’ he asked.
‘Don’t you have to work?’
‘Nope, Saturday. Two days off.’
‘Really?’ Violetta sat up excitedly.
‘Really,’ he said, laughing at her. ‘What doyouwant to do?’
She lay back down. ‘I have an idea.’
‘OK, you plan today and I'll plan tomorrow. That’s if you can bear to spend two days with me.’
‘I think I can bear it,’ she said, kissing his chest. ‘All right up. Let’s go,’ she ordered, and jumped out of bed.
The morning was spent having brunch, where Violetta ate eggs and drank coffee and signed six autographs, much to Jeff’s amusement.
As they walked through the city, Violetta told Jeff to wait for her at a bookstore as she wanted to hit a drug store and buy a toothbrush and pop into Pajaro to pick up a few items of clothing to see her through the weekend.
Violetta couldn’t remember when she had ever been happier. She had purpose, love, laughter and most of her family back.

Carlotta spent the evening with Chris. He didn’t mention his suspicions and his brief moment with Violetta at the drugstore, and she didn’t mention her sickness. She avoided wine, saying she was on antibiotics, and spent the night chatting to Alexia about horses and riding.
After Alexia went to bed, she stood up. ‘Well, I might head home,’ she said. Tiredness washed over her and she wondered if she would even make it home.
Chris looked up surprised. ‘You not staying?’
‘I don’t think so,’ she said, and walked to the door.
‘That’s a shame, I would have liked you in my bed.’
