I woke again next to Seth that following morning. Today we needed to begin a thorough search of this Jean Claude Ramiere’s room. I rolled over to Seth who smiled at me instantly. “Good morning.” I greeted kissing him. Seth smiled. “So far.” He agreed. “Are we looking into what made Christian sick today?” “We have to.” I nodded. “We don’t have a choice.” “Any ideas?” Seth asked. “Not yet.” I shook my head. “But

it will hit the fan soon. But it's going to be handled.

We went in with Sasha as he made the connection with the server to begin the call. We waited as there was a beeping to let Tasha and Alik know we were trying to connect. Now, this conversation is going to be in both Russian and English. To save myself carpel tunnel from typing, I’ll just do it in English. The screen suddenly came alive as the little happy face appeared. Alik was smiling at his father. “Hi, Papa!” Alik greeted in Russian. “Hi, Sport!” Sasha greeted warmly. “Are you gettin

I found out about some discontinued letters from their alphabet. I wondered how anyone typed on any keyboard with the Cyrillic Alphabet. But it's still alien.
-
I talked with Sasha and found out what Alik liked to do. Tasha and Alik were coming in two weeks. I found out he liked puzzles I got some puzzles I thought he would enjoy and some with letters so he could learn them. Learning Russian was taking a turn for the not so pleasant. I was having trouble with Russian letters! There were thirty-three! There were two B’s. They weren’t B’s exactly, there was the B that was the buh sound, but there was another that had the veh sound. The first of those

Hey, I was and will always be a truck guy. And what he did surprise me with later, you'll understand when he does. But I still have Bubba.

The next morning we all got up. But Sasha didn’t come down. He had to go to work that day, too. I made breakfast that morning. I made Tony’s coffee and heard David come down. “Sasha’s not coming down?” David asked. I smiled at David. “He meant what he said. I’ve never known him to say something he didn’t mean.” David nodded. “How do I tell him I chose him?” “You’ll have to show him,” I said simply. “The thing with Tony and me, we were in the same city. Our relationship was ri

About me and my husband, yes. There is my cousin David. Our waiter on ship was named Sasha. They existed. Artistic license allows some liberties. You guess what's real.

Maybe I should redo the title this part. Worlds are colliding, but not North and South. East and West?

Answers coming in the next chapter.

Is the suspense too much?

Okay, I was paying Sasha under the table. That’s illegal, so report me. Rules and laws should be followed…until you know the whole story. Then it becomes personal. Sasha’s situation was personal. We, the hotel and I, broke the law. Be honest, how many laws have you broken? It’s okay if you feel it necessary, right? Well, I felt it was necessary! Were Tony and I being tricked by a very persuasive conman? Maybe. Was he using us to get what he wanted? Of course, he was. He would do anything to get

I took the forms Sasha needed to have filled out and promised to deliver them in the morning. Then I turned to Sasha. “You need to clean up and change.” Sasha still reeling over being able to work and stay frowned. “Why?” He asked looking down at himself. Tony chuckled. “You can go out to eat with us like that if you like, but I’d prefer you didn’t smell like oven cleaner.” Then Tony was frowning. “Where did you get the oven cleaner anyway? We didn’t have it here.” Sasha nodded wi

A Catholic funeral was new for me, but I went as I should. I knew from history and other sources that…gone were the sermons in Latin and now the priests were saying what was necessary in English. There was an elegance in the service I will readily admit. The two caskets held two very good people that I could see had touched a lot of people. They were there. Again, I was family and included as such. I sat beside Tony and Louise. The rest of the family covered a whole pew. Angelo and Kathleen had

I whole heartily agree.

Louise arrived after noon and immediately went up to her father’s room with little said to anyone. It was the Fourth of July and most of the country was getting ready to celebrate our independence. I had found some things from the grocery stores around there Kathleen got her supplies the day before and was making dinner for the family. Tony came down in the kitchen where I was working. I glanced at him carefully as he came over, put his arms around me from behind and hugged me, burying his

Wait no longer. Here it is.

Wow, fifty-three years! The is happiness in sadness. That's impressive.
-
I shed a few tears remembering what happened. Writing it down just made it real again.
-
Add they still are. Kathy, Louise and all the nieces and nephews are still a very good family. I'm lucky they consider me family as well.
-
I just wanted to show that love is more than good times. We show love in the tough times as well. I was there for my husband. He knows that. But I deal with other things in the next few chapters.

It was easy to say that Italians were passionate people. This Italian family was certainly that. Tony felt deep feelings about people, me, his sisters and brothers, his son, nieces, and nephews. I saw him slowly get ready to go to bed in the room I found out was his when he was growing up. His parents had not quite left it like my parents had left mine. There were things I knew were Angelo’s where he worked on projects and things, but it had things from Tony’s past. I’d look at some of those thi

Real life has to happen. Keep the power on, make money to pay bills...I will have more. Patience.

You've got to be around a while yet, I depend on your left brained input. Keep me on track. But yes, both at once was surprising and you know what happened because I told you. Without letting everyone know, I'm just writing it down.
