Author's Note
: A question was asked on how this "detour" related to the original, "Show & Tell" autobiography? I've included it to both add a layer to my conflicted life, since in both cases, first Suzy and then Elle openly pursued me... and neither met much resistance. Similarly, both were born late in the lives of their parents, both had married men they felt "safe" with and both had been deprived of the thrill of oral sex, throughout those marriages. These chapters are merely an interesting, at least to me, sidelight to my affair with Elle. Thank you for indulging me.

It took me twenty minutes to clean Suzy up and get her back in bed..., the guest bedroom so we wouldn't disturb my wife.
She must have said, "I'm sorry," a hundred times.
The mess was easily excused by my, "..., I was watching the Sox, when she came stumbling in and lost it, all over me, the couch and the floor...." I'd cleaned up as much as I could before going to bed, my wife more concerned about Suzy's well being, than any mess on the boat.
After that, it was about eight months of seeing less and less of Don and Suzy, "..., his work, children and friends," taking more and more of their time. Again, her sister's complains continued to cause trouble between them, my wife pissed that she and Suzy were seeing less of each other now, than they had when they lives two states apart, rather then two miles! Add that to Don's growing jealousy of anyone making any kind of reference to Suzy's looks or the gap in their ages, and even she was getting tired of his act.
Then, with Don going to Atlanta for a week long seminar, my wife asked if she could take advantage of that opportunity and bring her sister to St. Maarten on another vacation, this time just the two of them. I had no problem with that, but I wasn't so sure about Don!
He thought it was a great idea, obviously not knowing anything about their previous adventures on the island, the two of us taking them to the airport to see them off, Don leaving the next day for the convention, or whatever.
My wife called to let me know they'd arrived safely and that she'd call, "..., in a couple of nights," just so I'd know they were, "Okay," and having a good time.
She called three nights later..., to tell me they were, "..., having a great time, BUT..., Don's been driving us nuts, calling the room at 7:00 every night, making sure that we're in the room and, "..., staying in the room!" for the rest of the night! So now we're staying at the beach later and not going out until after 7:00."
He got back from Atlanta on Friday night and called me, pretending that he hadn't spoken to Suzy, and to find out if, "..., they're having a good time?"
I told him I'd heard from my wife and that they were enjoying the island and that they were looking forward to getting home.
We agreed on a time that we'd meet the next night to pick them up at the airport.
He called be again at 8:00, "I've tried calling the room and they're not answering!"
"It's their last night and they're probably having dinner somewhere."
He called again at 9:30. "They're still not in their room! I called the resort and they sent a security guard to check the room and they're not there!"
I told him that they might have been invited out by a friend of mine, "..., the owner of the marina in, "Simpson's Bay Lagoon," and that I was sure they would be safe.
He called again at 10:15 and told me he was calling the cops.
Luckily, before he could do that, the girls got back to the resort, found the note that the office personnel had stuck to the door and Suzy called Don. My wife's version of events went like this; Don: "YOU ARE NEVER GOING ANY FUCKING PLACE BY YOURSELF AGAIN! YOU WON'T FUCKING LEAVE THE FUCKING HOUSE BY YOURSELF AGAIN! YOU WILL NEVER BE OUT OF MY FUCKING SIGHT AGAIN..., DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" Suzy: "Hahahahahaha."
I picked Don up the next day and we drove to the airport to get the girls. It was as if nothing had happened at all. They came out of the International terminal, where we greeted them with flowers, which I'd picked up, drove to a restaurant where we had dinner and the girls talked about all of the interesting things they'd seen and done. Once I'd dropped them off my wife told me what had really happened and what they'd really done.
It seemed to have been a fun week for them.
The following Monday, Suzy called and asked if I could stop at her house, "..., this afternoon," to help her with something.
It involved moving a piece of furniture and, "My sister told me to call you after I asked her to help. She knew Don is in Connecticut again so...."
I asked when she wanted me there and it was, "..., whenever you get here."
"Yes, I know..., I told her to call you," my wife answered when I called her to say what I was doing, "make sure she doesn't overdo it and try to do everything by herself."
"That's why I'm going," I told her, "so she won't try to do it all by herself."
When I got to her house..., she'd done everything else, but move the piece of furniture, which was a small antique night stand. "Couldn't this have waited for Don?" I asked.
"He wouldn't have gotten to it until the weekend, if at all" she replied, "and I wanted it all done today," as I set the bureau down next to the bed in the spare bedroom.
"Anything else I can help you with?" I asked, walking towards the stairs.
