in the hills away from the City. All that open country with trees and even
a small creek running through it made it look like heaven to a city girl
like me. Even better, he didn&amp;rsquo;t live there, but had plans to build a house
on the property some day. I saw a chance to have a private place where
I could escape to indulge in my fantasies, so I didn&amp;rsquo;t hesitate to ask
him for a key to the gate. He gave it to me, somewhat reluctantly, I thought,
but I was glad to get it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
