Chapter 669 An Escape From Comfort:>>Ep10

• Erika and I walked home companionably. It might perhaps be more accurate to say we wove home, as over the course of the evening at our friends', just the four of us had consumed a bottle of Pinot Noir and almost all of a bottle of Rye. We were mostly silent, holding hands and content to marshal our thoughts for the conversation when we got home that we both wanted and feared a little.
• I let us in through the front door into the dark house. Our daughter Merry would be at her grandparents' the whole weekend. Erika and I were each primed to talk things out about the way a simple dinner with new friends and morphed into the wildest night of our lives.
• Instead of talking, we were immediately tearing off each other's clothes, right in the foyer. It didn't take long to accomplish. We were both just wearing simple shorts and light shirts. Our underwear was balled up in Erika's purse. We hadn't bothered to put it back on when we finally got dressed before we left Peter and Sara's place.
