Behind me, Odelia murmured.
I said, “My things.”
“Shush,” I said. “Once they're done, assist me pick an outfit for supper tonight. I don't want to wind up on looking ragged.”
My stuff is temporarily in an additional bedroom. Odelia and I picked out a traditional black outfit for myself .

Luke wouldn't want Odelia to know if he had a sex dungeon.

She kicked the door dismissively. “It's almost 7.” she looked at the watch “Prepare.”
Tonight, would I be filmed? What would I tell Luke?
