It didn't take more excuse than the smile on Lolita's face for Lowell to draw her into an embrace and fasten his mouth on hers.



Ranjit opened his door a crack. "What's up, sweetheart?"

Lolita hadn't espected that but she didn't object. she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back


Glendea menuvered herself onto his lap her legs haning out the open door as she kissed him passionately

As Lowell and Lolita were kissing, Tiffany and Zach were putting distance between themselves and the other couple. Eventually, Tiffany felt safe about opening the dropped note. There was a trace of tape residue along the top edge, as if perhaps it had been taped onto a door by the writer and found later. It read:

Lowball, you know I'm all for what you're doing, but you may need a new courier to carry your input to the mosque people. Those burka ladies really don't like me.

Barbara.


Ranjit couldn't let good kissing go to waste; so he played the tongue-dance with Glenda for at least half a minute before breaking off and saying, "Can I assume that this means good news?"

Glenda nodded, " absolutly," she grinned, " She is ok with moving AND she want's to be involved in the wedding."

Ranjit shouted some happy words in Hindi; kissed Glenda once more; then said, "Now I only need to ask, should I come up right now and hug my mother-in-law?"



"What does this mean?" Zach muttered.

" ' Lowball' must be a nickname for _Lowell_ Sanders," Tiffany replied. "And the mosque part ties in with something we know: that Dr. Sanders is friendly with a lot of Muslim fundamentalists--their common ground being that they both hate Christianity. My brother will want to see this;" and she returned the note into her purse.

she smiled, " give us a minute," she said breathlessly then attatched her mouth to his again. she shifted around so she was sitting iwth him the wya she had been the other evening in the car wehn elopment had come up. her hands fastened into his har as she traced the inside of his mouth. she was beyond happy

she rested her forehead agaisnst his her smile radiating, " I can't wait,"s he said honestly, " I want to be yours...all yours."

she giggled at the thought, " speeking of...is there anythign in particular you want i the room on that night?" she didn't think her question made much sence but she didn't knwo how else to put it

she laughed and kissed him again, " well how about a compramise?" she asked he smile fading just a tiny bit

he smile returned, " something like that." she said then bit her lip touching his face, " My...my clothes were never removed lovingly or gently. I want to know what that feels like."

Melody slide down her hand down his chest kissing his ear.

" Are you ready to head back?," Zach asked.
