he smelled her breakfast thickcut bacon potatoes green onions eggs sourdough toast

                                whettedtickled his appetite

 

he heard the door open

Becky emerged into view

under her arm a blanket beach towel in hand a thermos
                                                              cherryred two piece
the girl was built

                                                                      she spread the blanket out
straightened it

unfolded the towel

turned her back on the sea

dropped to her knees

untied the back of her top

the suit hung

she looked up at him
                          Joe.

                                       they were side by side at the kitchen sink their backs to him they turned were dressed in full redcheckered gingham aprons  retro  edges done in white ruffles  covering belly to chest a heart narrow at the waist rounded lobes at the breast  a white heart pocket pointing to their groin
                                                                                            thats was it
grinning Allison said
