Chapter 224

• It took a lot for me to not say the first thing that came to mind. She was gorgeous, and I was having less than pure thoughts just then. She looked like a native, with long wavy hair, and a voluptuous figure that filled out that flowery dress she had on perfectly. I would have to keep from staring, to have a human conversation with her.
• "Well, hopefully you can help me. I'm only staying here for a few days, but have decided that I really like it here, and want to stay on a more permanent basis. Any idea where I could find someplace to stay? I know this is an odd request, but my life's changed directions on me recently, and this seems like the perfect place to start over."
• She paused before speaking; apparently digesting the brief life history I just gave her. "Sir, I am not a real estate agent, but can tell you that the general cost of living here is pretty high. Also most homes in the area are over-priced. I can give you the name of someone to talk to about this though. Would that be ok?"
