I had not planned this event.  Was it Schreiner and his damn competitive nature?) Olivia Walters!  I smile,<strong>“Miss Walters, yes.  Wonderful!  Please meet Ms. Rosendahl, Jaclyn.  I’ve told her about the Club, but I may have another recruit to <span class="bbc_u">hear</span> about the project.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Jaclyn and I just arrived.  Airport, wonderful lounge, flight, taxi and now here.  Whirlwind!”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“I was intending to show Jaclyn around.  We have rooms in the Club.  Do you have time for a drink?”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Egad! Presumptuous Warcaof!  Let me add, Jaclyn a drink or retire to your room?  A preference?”</strong>I smile at the two beauties.<br/><br/>The coincidence of Walters being here is strikingly good luck.<em>Hee-hee!</em><br/>
