Dark　eyes　flashing；　she　confronted　him。　〃You　clean　it　up。　I　didn't　make

the　mess；　and　I'm　not　your　slave！　It　happens　that　I　didn't　touch　that

cabi　when　I　arrived。　Put　your　blame　on　whomever　you　please；　as　long

as　it　isn't　on　me！　And　what　right　do　you　have　to　wake　me　up？　This　is　my

heel；　hair　flying　out　behind；　she　returned　to　her　room；　put　on　the　robe；

then；　with　a　wave　of　weariness；　sank　down　onto　the　edge　of　the　bed；

elbows　on　knees；　face　buried　in　her　palms。　Inhaling　deeply；　she　tried　to

still　the　throbbing　at　her　temples。　His　women。　His　women；　indeed。　She

wasn't　his　or　anyone　else's。

The　sorrow　of　that　thought　deflated　her。　If　Jeff　could　only　see　her　now！

Ashamed；　she　gathered　up　a　towel　and　soap　in　t
