It was early afternoon the following day when Jessis phone blipped to indicate a text message.
Hey there, little one. How is your day going?
Jessi smiled. She glanced down at the fabric swatches shed been using to try to decide which tablecloths to order for next weekends event. It was a fiftieth wedding anniversary. Who would have imagined there were so many varieties of gold?
Im great. How are you?
Happy to put aside table linen decisions for a moment, she waited for Judds reply.
I just spent the last couple of hours surfing, and I dont have to be at work for another few hours so Im great. Hows your bottom, little one?
Even in the privacy of her office, Jessi blushed. The truth was, her bottom was sore. Not that she minded. Shed been rather pleased when she checked herself in the mirror before she got dressed that morning and found that it was still red. There were even round bruises on each cheek from the wooden spoon.
