Saturday, July 14, 2068, 1 a.m., Tracy Island; 8 a.m. Friday, July 13 in NH

Jeff rolled over in bed, his arm reaching out to its usual nighttime perch and finding... nothing. The lack of warm body beside him woke him enough that he opened his eyes and, seeing the relatively neat side of the bed, he remembered.

"Uhh." He rolled back over, drawing the cover with him. He closed his eyes, and tried to drop off again, but it was no good. He was awake now, and he sighed deeply.

Sitting up, he scrubbed his chin with a hand, then ran the other through his hair. He rose and padded to the bathroom, intending on using the throne, getting a small drink of water, then going back and trying to sleep again.

While he was there, he eyed the Jacuzzi speculatively. It brought out the memory of his and Dianne's visit to New Hampshire. The Jacuzzi in the master bedroom there certainly had gotten its share of use. He smiled, and remembered the quick phone call he'd gotten the previous afternoon.

"Hello theah, you rascal," Dianne had said. Her flirty drawl had made him chuckle.

"I guess that means you found my little surprise," he had answered, grinning.

"Ah most certainly did," she had replied. "An' yoah lettah. You made me blush, an' in front o' Elise an' Scott no less."

"Well, the sentiments were heartfelt, love. I can't wait until you get back."

"Me eithah. Ah jes' hope this does Elise all th' good in th' world. Ah don' want to lose her as a pilot."

"Nor do I." He had looked at his watch. "Isn't it getting late there?"

"Yes," she had replied with a sigh. "I've already sent the other two off to bed. Now I'd better get ready myself." Jeff had been disappointed that the drawl had dropped from her voice; that accent now turned him on, but only when she used it.

"Then I won't keep you. Goodnight, love. Sweet dreams."

"You know I won't have any sweet dreams until I'm home with you," she had said, her tone soft and regretful.

"Yes, you will," he had replied. "You just remember our time there and your dreams will be as sweet as honey."

"I remember our time here, and I'll be having problems with hot flashes," Dianne had quipped. "But I will try. Goodnight, Jeff. See you again soon."

"See you, love."

He smiled as he wandered back into the bedroom. One a.m.. That would make it roughly 8 a.m. there. I wonder... no, I'd better not. Dianne needs to focus on Elise and what they're going to do. I'll wait until after breakfast. Things should have come to a head there by then.

With that, he slipped back beneath the covers, and pulled her pillow out so he could perch his arm on it. It wasn't as firm as her waist, but it still smelled of her, and it would have to do. Sighing, he closed his eyes, focused on his memories of Dianne in that Jacuzzi, and fell back to sleep.

98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
