Love and Deceit

Belinda could sight the restaurant right ahead, as she hoped in her heart that Lucy would get on with what she had to say quickly before she set down to dine for lunch.

"Oh, it's my brother. I don't know if you remember him."

"Nathaniel. You do remember him. Don't you? You know, when we met years ago in the States, you..."

Everything Lucy said from that point on was pointblank strewn into the emptiness, because Belinda had long drifted into a flashback.

Nathan? But of course! He went on a journey mysteriously after they had made out on a yacht during a weekend get-away enroute to Florida. Now that Belinda thought about it, they were young and naive, young lovers, passionate and wild in exploring each other's sexuality.
