Prologue
Jack
At the time, I thought it was a good deal. She was filthy rich from an inheritance that was left for her by a grandmother. On top of that, she travels a lot as a traveling Auditor of the IRS.
At the time, I saw this as a perfect setup. My life could continue much the same as it has as a single writer. With the added benefit that I’d get regular sex when she is home from her trips.
I never did meet Francine before she shipped off for basic training. I saw some post cards that she sent from Lackland Air Force Base. Later, I saw postcards from the Air Force base in Utah where she was stationed after training.
It was just days after my 30th birthday that Mylo told me Francine was coming home and that she would be living here in the mansion until she finds her way in civilian life.
