I had coughed most of what was in my mouth out, but I didn’t want her to slap me again so I tried swallowing. I could make out she was washing her feet under the tap, then the water stopped and she stepped out. xnx “I wish I had more to train you with but we’ll just have to wait until next time.”
Oh no! The man at the dry cleaners always scowled at me, avoided eye contact, and I could hear him muttering foul things under his breath when I was around. “Swallow it!” she commanded, she was screaming now. “I don’t think I’m going to have enough milk to fill you and I had a lot of time by myself last night to think about things.”
She almost sounded hurt, was she upset that I hadn’t shown up because she liked the company?
