Abby spoke with Antonio that evening on the phone after he talked with Lucy. Their murmured conversation served only to arouse her passion.     “Bella, are you alone now?” 
 
      “Yes.”

A wave of dizziness washed over me and I fought back the nausea, resisting the urge to throw up.  I reached out to brace myself to keep from falling and heard the sound of Alan’s voice explaining something to one of my fellow travelers.

As we approached our destination, Alan, our tour guide, cautioned us to be careful stepping over the ropes that blocked access for the normal tourists who came in droves. This tour was special since we could disregard the barrier and go among the stones.
