"Do you know someone named Hector Palma?" she asked, halfway through dinner. I swallowed freesex com hard. "Yes."
"He called an hour ago. Said it was important that he talk to you. Who is freesex com he?"
"A paralegal with the firm. I was supposed to spend the morning with him going over one of my cases. He's in a tight spot."
"Must be. He wants to meet with you at nine tonight, at Nathan's on M." "Why a bar?" I mused.
"He didn't say. Sounded suspicious."
My appetite vanished, but I kept
eating to appear unmoved. Not that
it was necessary. She couldn'freesex com t have cared less.
I WALKED to M Street, in a light rain that was turning to sleet, and in significant pain. Parking would've freesex com been impossible on Friday night. And I hoped to stretch my muscles some, and clear my head.

As I approached he suddenly freesex com jumped from his seat and thrust a hand at me. "You must be Michael. I'freesex com m Hector Palma, from real freesex com estate. Nice to meet you."
It freesex com was an assault, a burst of personality that put me on my heels. I shook freesex com hands, reeling, and said something like, " freesex com Nice to meet you."
He pointed freesex com to the freesex com booth. "Here, have a seat," he said, all warmth and smiles. I delicately- freesex com bent and squeezed my way into the booth.
"What happened to your face?" he asked.
"I kissed an air bag."
"Yeah, I heard about the accident," he said quickly. Very quickly. "Are you okay? Any broken bones?"
"No," I said slowly, trying to read him.
