Chapter 316

• Flora stopped and looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, "Frank tells me that I do that. That I shouldn't be so touchy, so straight forward. I thought he was full of crap. Did you really think I wanted you to proposition me?"
• I realized I had been given a chance to talk my way out of the fire, so I said,"Yes. Stop and think, how many times have you pushed your breasts against me over the last two years? And what kind of effect do you think that has on a man? On me? Add that to the question about me and Helen having sex and your statement about not having as much sex as you want, what would you think if you were in my shoes? Have I ever been crude with you or any of the women or the girls? Have I ever given you an indication I was just waiting to get you alone so I could grope you? I don't think I have. So why do you think I did it this time if I didn't think I was invited to? "
• Flora stood silent for several minutes, then said in a quiet voice,"Frank told me I was going to get myself in trouble one of these days doing that. He's yelled at me more then once for being touchy with guys. And you're right about the questions. Sometimes I'm clueless. Frank has yelled at me for being blind to that too."
