261 wivesbehavingbadly

. there was a knock at the door and a girl in a shell pink uniform came in carrying a tray . she had thick fair pulled up into a ponytail and a stern exprression ." your breaskfast ." she placed a single cup of hot water with a slice of lemon beside the bed . it's a beautiful day ." she commented as she puffed back the curtains and warm sunlight flooded in ." you 've had your program explained to you ..." she pickedd up the printout on the table and checked it  ." do you  know where to go for your first appointment ? she pressed a hand on my foot under the bedclothes . it was a professional rough , designed to  reassure and give the illusion of  expertise ." enyoy your day ."
my body is a temple ." i muttered and sipped the hot water . on the breaskfast santisfaction  index , it had a ways to go .
at home , felix would be starring glumly into his cereal bowl as he did every morning breaskfast was not felix 's thing "not hungry ." lucas would have eaten his already , quickly and efficiently . they had grown cunning and wily . accomplices in deception . when he thought i wasn't looking , felix slid his bowl to his brother . i watched for that . nathan and i had discussed the propect of lucas becoming all-powerful over felix . nathn had scratched his head and said , without a trace of irony ." it's  the law of the jungle . they  will have to learn ."
"that 's strangle ." i said ." there 's something odd here sometimes you're the toughie , and sometimes the softie ."
"times change ." said nathan .
they had . they had . times had changed out of all recognition .
i picked up the phone and called eve  . "everything all right ."
