"This is Asher Adams" her father said. "He's going to be your bodyguard from now on.

Kimberly's eyes widened in disbelief. The water she had just swallowed went down the wrong pipe and she began to choke. She started to cough and it took some seconds to finally calm her down.

Great. Just great. She thought. Just when she thought she had the annoying man out of her life for good. 

She turned her attention to her father. "I'm sorry dad, what did you just say?"

HER BODYGUARD

Penny loved every inch of the house. And as he showed her around, she understood more why he loved it. A home for a family… As he had said. She wanted the same thing too….she always had. There was a time when that dream included Jeremy…. Not anymore. Right now, she could almost picture herself, Joey and Howard being a real family. Maybe with two other babies… Maybe twins. She loved twins. Always hoped she’d have them someday. Once she heard the twins were never born to women who wanted them, but that was probably another old wives tale, she thought. 


Joey’s voice snapped her back to reality. 


“Thank you for coming, Penny” he was saying, “You have no idea how much I have missed you. Missed hanging out with you” 


“I have missed you too. Howard too. The house is really not the same without you” Penny replied softly, and seeing the way his eyes darkened with desire as he stared at her, she moved away and sat on the couch, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV.
