A frustrated wife and mother wakes up one night to find a hand stroking her bottom. Initially, she thinks it's her husband but, after a delightful few moments, she remembers with a jolt that he's away on business. There's only one other explanation, but something makes her hesitate...
When financial hardship means that Julie has to share a bedroom with her bigger sister Sharon it comes with an unexpected benefit. One that only gets better and better.
All she wanted to do was to go home and sleep. It had been both the luckiest and the most horrible day she'd ever experienced. Instead of sleep, she found something she didn't know she was missing. This is a stand-alone story based on my story '35', as seen through the eyes of Connie McCabe, an Eastern Airlines Flight Attendant.
