Chapter 906 (Incest/Taboo):Their Love Problem:>Ep4

• Justine was doubtful, and a little leery at the prospect; not a few of her clients were the kind of men who could make life very difficult for a young girl working alone late at night, but John had spread the word: mess with Justine, or disrespect her in any way, and he'd come calling. Those who knew him knew what a potent and very real threat that was, and passed the word to those who didn't, and pretty soon some of the most dangerous men in the specialized world John moved in were bowing and scraping to 'Miss Justine' as though their very lives depended on it, which in many ways they did.
• John also availed himself of her services; he needed his place cleaned too, he loved his baby sister's cooking, and he liked the idea of giving her money the only way she'd take it; if she was earning it. He liked the thought of his kid sister using his place as a bolt-hole too after a night spent cleaning other people's homes; often he'd come from work to find Justine still there, waiting for him with a coffee, a hot meal, and a willing ear, and he began to look forward to their loving, but innocent, trysts as they gradually reconnected as big brother and his baby sister; for him, it was the only way to finish the day.
• It got to the stage where, if he came home as dawn was breaking and she wasn't there, he felt cheated, and the rest of his day was colored by a feeling of loss and emptiness, as if something important was missing.
