Free Blogger: TEAM SQUIRT - TEAMSQUIRT ever once minded leaving me here alone?" Marla thought bitterly, but she held her tongue. "There are things that need to get done before it's too late in the season," she snapped in reply. "And since you don't seem to have the time to do any of them, I have to. Buddy's willing to help me, and he's leaving for college soon. This is the only time I have."
"Yeah, sure," her husband complained.
The fact that he didn't seem to remember that Saturday was her birthday - and also didn't seem to care that he'd be away then - wasn't lost on Marla.
While Marla was dealing with her boorish husband, Buddy was packing his things, barely able to contain his excitement about spending three days and four nights alone with the woman of his dreams. He couldn't stop thinking about how neat it was going to be to not have to worry about anyone walking in on them, or to not have to worry about running into anybody they knew.
