"But why aren't they in order?" Alex asked.Aphrodite shrugged and replied, "I suppose at some point it was determined that placing the numbers randomly around the board made it more challenging."She hadn't had to explain the standard dartboard to anyone before and Alex's questions made her realize that she knew very little about its origin and why it was designed the way that it was. Next, she expected him to ask her why it was round instead of square or some other shape. One of the greatest joys she always treasured about raising her nephew was trying to answer his myriad of questions about things that she had typically taken for granted. His behavior never challenged her, but his inquisitive mind often did.Watching Alex take a few practice throws at the electronic dart game, Aphrodite wasn't surprised to see him hitting the bullseye or close to it. He had always demonstrated superior hand-eye coordination and his competitive spirit would instinctively lure him to the highest-scor

Humming to herself she moves around her bedroom with practiced ease, gathering up the things for her bath. Sweet smelling steam billows from the tub, in the master bath, as it is filled with water and a fair amount of bubbles.Setting the things she would need on the edge of the tub, she loosens the belt at the waist of her sea foam green silk dressing gown. Smiling to herself as the silk caresses her bare flesh, skimming over her shoulders and down her arms, she lets it pool on the floor at her feet.Lifting her right foot from the floor, she tests the temperature of the water with her toes before easing her foot into the tub. Stepping in fully she slowly lowers her lush body into the lilac scented water. The bubbles surrounding her, gently kiss against her skin as some pop filling the air with the heady scent. With a smile born of satisfaction and relaxation spreading across what some may think of as rather plain-featured face. The easing of tension causing such a difference in her

"Okay," he said. "The 'when' will be tomorrow morning at 8:30 in the morning. The 'where' will be my house. I don't know what the weather has to do with anything, but we can check the forecast and dress accordingly before heading to church."Fighting to suppress her grin, Aphrodite kept a smile off her lips as she replied, "Mr. Justice. While most people admire a small ass, no one likes a smart ass.""Well, I'll take your word for that," Devon teased. "Because you likely know everything there is to know about having an admired ass."Aphrodite might have been shocked by Devon's comment, but she didn't want him to have the satisfaction of seeing it. "After what we just went through in court, you can't believe that what you said to me was appropriate."Devon countered with a smile, "After what we just went through in court, I know that what I believe is irrelevant. What matters is whether or not you believe it was an appropriate comment for me to make."Pursing her lips as she pondered a

Devon led her across the patio and toward the beach through the dunes. The tide was out, so they had to trudge another twenty yards before the firmer sand along the shoreline provided them with a cooler surface and more solid footing for a leisurely walk. They were able to continue walking hand-in-hand on the firmer sand without the surf reaching their feet.They had to dodge or pause in their walk to avoid running into oblivious people looking for seashells or sharks' teeth as well as the occasional child running haphazardly to or from the water, but they were able to continue holding hands as they did so.They walked silently for several hundred yards before Devon spoke, "You said that you knew the psychologist that Athena was seeing when she was younger. Can you get her contact information? I know that we learned a lot from the documents, but there are still several questions, at least in my mind.""Mine too," Aphrodite agreed. "In particular, I need to know what caused her to act

"How is Mr. Vinson?" Aphrodite asked."His last name isn't Vinson. I use my maiden name professionally but my legal name is hyphenated with his. To answer your question, he is doing remarkably well. There are very few residual effects evident from his stroke and those are expected to improve within the next few months through his therapies. Our friends, Dru and Randy McLean have taken him to lunch so that we three would have the house free for our discussion. Please follow me. We'll use his office."She led them through a set of double doors into a large office that looked like it was a converted living room space due to its size and location within the house. There was an L-shaped desk with a computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse on its surface. Along the wall, under a large picture window was a sitting area comprised of a large leather sofa with a coffee table between it and two over-stuffed leather chairs. The walls were adorned with framed pictures of a handsome man standing besid
