Her eyes were the color of envy
as she watched them
from the shadows
Their moonlit skin
unabashed under the stars
Urgency in their every move
Making moan sounds
that echoed in her throat
She slipped away
as they recovered
from their frolicking
She had to hurry
to get home
before he did

Haha! Why, Lori? To get the .38 she has stashed away? Surprise ending. Love it.

Actually, I think she had something else on her mind ("I'll have what she's having")
Heaven help him if he refuses her advances.

Now, this made me recall
"The Night the Lights went out
in Georgia..."

go figure.
