By some sort of unspoken agreement, no one dressed for breakfast the next morning. It seemed pointless for everyone to put on their clothes, then go downstairs and take them off again. Consequently everyone wore their robes to the table. Since there was no particular hurry, they had a leisurely meal, and when they were finished the girls helped Ruth stack the dishes.
"You say Barb's going to be here at nine?" Allan asked Sharon.
"That's what she said. She was supposed to call first, but she forgets things like that."
Ruth laughed. "Don't we all. Well, when she does call, tell her to come on over. We'd love to have her."
"That's right," Allan agreed. "We developed all the pictures last night, and we're short quite a few with Shadow. Sharon, Barb wouldn't mind, ahhh, doing it with the dog, would she?"
"I honestly don't know."
Chuck smirked at his father. "Barb fucks like a mink, Dad. I don't think she'd mind."
"Good." Allan stood up from the table. "C'mon, Chuck. Let's go straighten things up downstairs while the girls do the dishes."
As soon as they were finished in the kitchen, Patty and her mother went downstairs while Sharon waited in the living room for Barb to call or come over. It was just a few minutes after nine when the doorbell rang and Sharon answered it. It was Barb.
"Hey, I thought you were going to call?" Sharon asked as she let the girl in.
"I couldn't call. My mom was there." The blonde looked around. "Where is everybody?"
"They're downstairs." Sharon hesitated. "Barb, I've got to tell you something. They want some pictures with the dog. You know, like that stuff I told you about. If you don't want to do things like that, you'd better just go on home."
Barb's eyebrows went up with surprise. "Why should I mind? You did it, didn't you? I said I'd do anything you did, remember?"
"I just wanted you to know, that's all." Sharon locked the front door. "Well, we might as well go on down. They're probably waiting for us."
"Jeez!" Barb bubbled. "I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!"
I'll just bet you are, Sharon thought with a touch of jealousy. She led the way silently through the hall to the back of the house and down the stairs. When they reached the room with the red door and went inside, they saw that the others were standing around naked. Ruth was brushing her hair, while Chuck and Allan moved the cameras around and set up the lights.
"Good morning, Barb," Ruth said cheerfully. "Take your clothes off and make yourself at home."
"Hi," Barb said shyly. Then she began taking her clothes off so quickly she almost tore the buttons from her blouse.
As Sharon sapped out of her robe, she noticed that Shadow was sitting by the door to the bathroom, looking at the people eagerly. His long red cock was already extended out of its hairy sheath and it glistened brightly.
"You certainly have a beautiful body, Barb," Allan remarked as he eyed the blonde's lush tits and hair-covered snatch. "Would you mind, err, letting the dog mount you for a few shots?"
"Gosh, no!" Barb answered eagerly. "I'd like to see what it feels like to do it with a dog."
"Great!" Allan took the blonde by the arm and guided her to the bed. "Chuck, check the camera angle and lens setting. There we go, Barb. Just get up in the middle of the bed on your hands and knees. C'mon, Shadow! Up!"
Sharon felt a twinge of envy as she watched her friend crawl up and crouch on the white sheets. The girl's bare ass gleamed, and her heavy tits hung from her chest like two balloons. It was quite apparent that Chuck and Allan thought she was something special, and Sharon wasn't too sure that she liked that.
"Get up there, boy!" Allan said to the dog.
The animal mounted Barb and put his front paws on her shoulders, then began hunching his shiny red tool at her pussy.
"Can you put it in, kid, or do you want me to?" Allan asked.
"I'll take care of it." Barb bent her head and looked back between her hanging titties. Then she reached between her legs for the dog's hot tool and began rubbing it up and down her steamy gash. "Oh, wow!" she gasped.
"Just get the head in, Barb," Allan said. "He knows what to do after that."
"Jeez!" Barb whimpered as she poked the tip into her hole and withdrew her hand. "Oh, wow!" Suddenly the dog lurched his haunches forward, plunging his long fiery cock into the girl's pussy, and Barb screamed. "Wwwaaahhh! Aaaggghhh! Oh, God, Shadow!"
"Slow, Shadow!" Allan cautioned. Then he turned and walked back to where Sharon was standing. "Go ahead, Chuck. Take ten or twelve if you can."
Sharon glanced down at Allan's massive hairy prick and felt the familiar tingle in her cunt. Then, with an effort, she lifted her eyes and watched the big black Labrador stab his long pole into Barb's juicy pussy.
"Oh, Jesus!" Barb squealed. "Shadow! Aaarrrggghhh! Fuck me! Fuck me! I dreamed about this all night! Oh, God! Punch it! Shadow! Punch it! Aaaggghhh!"
The blonde was swirling her hips on the dog's lunging shaft. Her big tits slapped together as she writhed and waggled on the delight-filled pole. Her creamy body contrasted sharply with the animal's black fur as he speared her again and again with his milk-covered prong.
"Ssshhhaaadddooowww! Oh, fuck me! Oh, God! I love this! Aaaggghhh! Do it, doggie! Do it!"
"She sure likes to fuck, doesn't she?" Allan said quietly. "It's a good thing she came by. We can sure use a body like that in our pictures."
Sharon felt anger building up in her rapidly. She was as good as Barb! Better, even! That damned blonde wasn't so hot! She reached out her hand and curled her fingers around Allan's rigid, throbbing cock.
"Allan, why don't you fuck me?" she whimpered. "I'm ready."
He looked at her quickly, then his mouth broke into a grin. "Sure, baby! Ruth, get on the other camera, will you?"
Allan turned to face Sharon, still smiling. He reached down with both hands and grabbed the backs of her thighs. "Ready?"
"Oh, yes!" she panted. "Anything, Allan! Just stick it in me!" Her cunt was already wet and her hole was dilated. A desperate need for a cock was making her womb palpitate. "Please!"
He lifted her up gently, sliding her pointed tits against his hairy chest. Raising her cunt up over his cock, he probed for her hole, found it, then eased her down. The gigantic tool slipped up into her belly easily, gliding effortlessly into the liquid filled tunnel.
"Gggnnnuuuggghhh! Oh, Allan! Jesus! Oh, my! Christ, what a cock! AAAGGGHHH!"
She threw her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her ankles. She could feel the thick shaft clear up to her waist as Allan balanced himself and stepped over into the range of the camera Ruth was operating.
"Hang on, kid!" Allan rasped. "You're gonna get the whole thing!"
"Shadow!" Barb screamed from the bed. "Fuck me! Fuck me! Aaaggghhh! Oh, God, doggie! Do it! Fuck that cunt, you big bastard!"
"Wwwaaahhh! Allan! My God!" Sharon clutched at the man's back as he hunched his piston into her pussy. In that position she could feel every inch of his huge dong as he pumped it in and out of her snatch, sending tingles of delight through her body. Her tits were flattened against his chest and his hair tickled her nipples. "Fuck me, Allan! Fuck me! Fuck me! Aaaggghhh! Oh, God!" She began bouncing on his rigid poker.
"That's it, kid!" Allan grunted. "God, what a cunt! Uuunnnggghhh! Squeeze your cunt muscles! Wwwhhhuuufff! That a girl! Damn, what a fuck!"
"Fuck me, doggie!" Barb screeched. "Fuck me! Oh, God! Shadow! Shadow! Gggnnnuuuggghhh!" She had bent her neck again and was looking back between her titties at the dog's swinging sac of balls. "Jesus! Do it!Aaaggghhh!"
"Gggnnnuuuggghhh!" Sharon wailed, squirming and pounding Allan's cock feverishly. She used her clamped legs as leverage while she slithered her milky cunny up and down his tool. "Aaalllaaannn! Oh, I love to fuck like this! Aaaggghhh!"
"Do it, baby!" he groaned loudly. "Do it! My balls are boiling! Christ, what a tight cunt! It won't take long, kid! Damn! Damn! Wwwhhhuuunnnggg!"
"I can't hold it!" Barb shrieked. "I CAN'T!" The big black dog was stabbing her wildly, giving her the full length of his dick with each stroke. His belly hair tickled the crack of her ass as he thrust his seething shaft in and out with quick jerky motions. "Oh, God! Shadow! Pump it!I'm gonna come! Jesus!"
"Aaalllaaannn! Jesus! Help me!Pump! Aaaggghhh! Oh, God! You're making me do it! Allan!"
"Nnnooowww!" Barb screamed. She backed quickly onto Shadow's spearing cock. "Nnnooowww! Gggnnnuuuggghhh! Aaaggghhh!"
"Do it, Allan!" Sharon yelled into his ear. "I'm coming! I'm coming! Oh, my God! Aaaggghhh!"
The man's hands gripped Sharon's ass tightly as he stiffened. Then he jerked and his hot sperm spewed from his dick into her twat. "Ungh! Ungh! Uuunnnggghhh!"
Sharon sobbed against his shoulder as the hot liquid squirted against her womb. She shivered and shuddered and her nails scraped his back. "Gggnnnuuuggghhh! Aaarrrggghhh!"
"Hey, that was great, Barb!" Chuck said enthusiastically as Shadow yanked his wet tool from the girl's dripping twat and leaped off the bed. "I got twelve good ones!"
"I can't believe it," Barb said with a quivering voice as she crawled to the edge of the bed and got to her feet. "I didn't think a dog could get me so excited." Holding her legs together tightly, she minced toward the bathroom with doggie cum running down the insides of her thighs.
"What did you think of that, baby?" Allan asked Sharon as he lifted her cunt off his throbbing pole and set her down.
"God, Allan!" she gasped, her big tits heaving. "Doing it that way is out of sight! I thought your cock was going clear up to my throat!"
He chuckled, and patted her on the shoulder. "You'll learn a lot of new things around here, honey. When Barb comes out, you'd better go get rid of that load. That was my first one today, and it was a good one."
Sharon nodded and smiled. "I know."
Patty had been sitting silently on the dresser, fingering her pussy and playing with her tits as she watched the activity in the room. Now that it was over, she slid to the floor and walked over to her mother, who was changing film in the camera.
"Mom, can I eat one of the girls now?" she asked quietly. "Don't we need some pictures of two girls eating each other?"
Ruth smiled at her daughter fondly. "Not right now, honey. We've got too many requests for the dog. Maybe later on. Okay?"
"I guess so," the girl replied poutingly. "Dam! A lot of those people want pictures of me, too."
"I know, dear. I know. Just be patient."
When Barb came out of the bathroom, Sharon went in. The blonde walked directly over to Allan and looked at his cum-streaked tool. "I'd sure like to have you fuck me with that," she said coyly.
Allan reached for her hand and wrapped it around his wet dick. "You'll get your chance, honey. We have to get the dog shots out of the way first. I'll tell you what. How would you like to suck Shadow off?"
Barb released his cock quickly and backed away, looking at him wide-eyed. "God, no, Allan! I can't do that! Fuck, sure! But no sucking! Not a dog!"
Sharon was reentering the room when she overheard the conversation. This was her chance to show them that she was better than her friend. She stepped up to Allan and smiled at him saucily.
"I'll suck Shadow, Allan. But only if Chuck fucks me at the same time."
"That's great!" he said happily, then turned to his son. "Chuck, you take care of Sharon, will you? I'll run the camera."
"Hell, yes!" the boy replied, stepping over to the bed. "My balls were starting to ache anyway. C'mon, Sharon. I'll give you a fuck you won't forget for a while."
Sharon gave Barb a haughty look, then walked over and knelt in front of the boy. She cupped his balls in one hand, gripped the base of his tool with the other, and began nibbling at the head of his pulsing prong. She kissed and licked the swollen tip, then took it in her mouth and sucked on it gently.
"Hey!" Chuck said. "I said fuck, not suck! C'mon, let's get up on the bed!"
Reluctantly, Sharon pulled her mouth away and stood up. "I just wanted to taste it first," she said impishly. "Fuck me good, will you?" She climbed up on the satin sheet on her hands and knees and crawled to the middle of the bed.
"All right, Shadow!" Chuck said. "Up on the bed, boy!"
The animal had been sitting against the wall, licking his sticky peter carefully. The red rod was still all the way out and throbbing. At Chuck's command, he jumped to his feet and leaped onto the bed. When he saw that the boy was moving up to Sharon's ass, he knew what position he should take. He went around to Sharon's head and raised up and put his front paws on her shoulders.
"Stick it in first, Chuck!" Sharon panted. "Then I'll start sucking him!"
"Okay!" The boy eased up to Sharon's creamy asscheeks. He gripped his prick and bent it down, sliding the smooth head into the crack of her ass and down into her crotch. He found the juicy opening with the tip of his dick immediately and pressed it in. "God, you're hot!"
"I know!" Sharon wailed. "Give it to me! Push it all the way in! Hurry,Chuck! Please!"
"Here it comes!" He grabbed her by the hips and thrust forward, clenching his asscheeks as he rammed his long, hard muscle into her cunt. "Wwwhhhuuunnnggg! Oh, God! That's a tight pussy!"
Sharon gripped his cock with her cuntal muscles as the head of his pecker banged against her womb. A shudder of delight surged through her at the feel of his fiery pole inside her. "Oh, God! Aaaggghhh! Jesus, that's beautiful!"
"All right, honey!" Ruth called from behind the camera. "Put your mouth on Shadow's cock now. Suck it just like you would any other prick."
Sharon nodded, staring down at the red pole in front of her face. The dog's pointed staff wasn't as big around as a human cock. She swallowed, opened her mouth, and slipped her lips over the turgid tool. She was surprised that it didn't taste bad at all. "Uuummm! Uuunnnfff!"
"Okay, Sharon!" Chuck said hoarsely, sliding his hands up to her tiny waist. "Hang on!"
He began slowly, easing his shaft out to the end, then plunging it in again. He shivered with excitement as he watched his milk-covered cock glide in and out of the juicy pussy. "Oh, God, Sharon! Damn, you're tight! Wow!" His cock dripped with her liquid as he slithered it in and out.
"Uuunnnfff! Uuummm!" Sharon swished her tongue around Shadow's throbbing cock as she slurped on it wetly. Chuck's huge muscle pumping into her from behind gave her a feeling of rapturous bliss. She closed her eyes and pretended it was a human cock she was sucking on instead of a dog's.
"Oh, fffuuuccckkk!" Chuck moaned. "Mom, Ican't hold it too long! I'm too hot!Wwwhhhuuunnnggg! Oh, Jesus! Uuunnnggghh!She's so fucking tight! Damn! Gggnnnuuuggghhh!"
Patty had sidled over to stand next to Barb. The blonde was gaping wide-eyed at Sharon's mouth sliding up and down Shadow's red cock. She didn't notice Patty moving behind her, then she felt the young girl's hairy cunt against her ass and Patty was snaking her hands around and down into her cunt.
"Patty!" she whispered. "What are you doing?"
"I want to play with your pussy," Patty whimpered behind her. "Please let me!"
"Okay!" Barb spread her feet apart as Patty's hands moved down into her hot milky gash and began caressing her clit. "Oh, Patty! Uuuunnnfff! That feels good!"
The young girl was rubbing her hairy snatch against Barb's ripe ass as she fingered the blonde's gash. "Oh, Barb!" she crooned. "Oh, Barb! Uuummm! Uuummm!"
"Ungh… ungh!" Chuck grunted as he slammed his tingling pole into Sharon's hot clenching tunnel. "Jesus! Gggnnnuuuggghhii! I can feel it coming! Christ, what a cunt!"
"Uuunnnfff!" Sharon's head bobbed on the dog's dick as she swirled and swiveled her ass on the spearing rod in her cunt. Her heavy pointed tits swayed beneath her with the movement of her twisting, gyrating body.
Shadow's red tongue hung out the side of his mouth and his long black tail flagged the air as he pumped at the girl's mouth with his cock. He was whining and whimpering, trying to keep his balance on the slick sheets as the girl gobbled his pulsing pecker.
"Jeez, Mom!" Chuck cried out. "I can't hold it much longer! Her cunt's too tight! Oh, God! I'm gonna come! Ssshhhaaarrrooonnn!Jesus! I'm going to…! Ungh! Ungh!" His back went rigid and the tendons stood out on his neck as his prick erupted. He shivered as his juice flowed out the end of his rod and spurted in jets against Sharon's womb. "Gggnnnuuuggghhh!"
The hot fluid gushing into her brought Sharon to a climax. She was quivering and shaking with the fervent ecstasy of orgasm as she felt Shadow's tool swell between her lips. Then the dog's pole erupted in her mouth and sprayed her tonsils and throat. She gulped the seething liquid quickly. "Uuummm! Uuunnnfff!"
"Patty!" Barb moaned. "Uuunnnggghhh! Oh, Patty!" She was squirming her cunt against Patty's probing fingers, delighting in the feel of the girl's snatch against her ass. The blonde clutched her titties with both hands and began pumping her hips. "Gggnnnuuuggghhh! Oh, Patty!"
Sharon pulled her mouth from Shadow's tool and he jumped off the bed. Then she fell forward on her belly, yanking her cum-filled twat from Chuck's still-jerking muscle. "Oh, wwwooowww!" she gasped. "My God!"
Ruth smiled at her husband. "I think that does it, dear. I'm sure we have enough now. Why don't you take Shadow outside? He'll just pester us if we leave him in here."
"Sure." Allan glanced at Patty and Barb and smiled. His daughter's fingers had brought the blonde to climax and Barb was trembling and vibrating so hard her tits shook.
"Pppaaatttyyy! Oh, God! Gggnnnuuuggghhh!"
Chuck didn't bother to look at the two girls as he got off the bed and walked over to the dresser for some tissues to wipe his cum-streaked cockshaft. When he had cleaned it off, he dropped the wet tissues in the wastebasket and sat down on top of the dresser.
"Good God Almighty!" Sharon whimpered as she rolled to the side of the bed and stood up. The combined explosion of two cocks inside her had left her giddy. Cupping a hand over her cunt, she reeled to the bathroom to sit down on the stool and let Chuck's tremendous load drain from her tunnel.
Well, I finally did it! she thought sadly. Sucking a dog is the last straw! She wiped her pussy, then filled the syringe at the sink and inserted the douche into her vagina. I'll never be able to face Mom again! Never!
Her eyes were wet as she finished rinsing her pussy and dried off. When she went back into the other room, she was the only one without a smile on her face. Everyone else seemed to be very happy.
"Hey, Sharon!" Patty said gleefully. "I was just telling Dad what we did last night. You know, upstairs in the bedroom? How about if we do that again?"
"You wouldn't mind, would you, Sharon?" Allan asked sincerely. "We've got time for a few more pictures before we go up for lunch."
"Of course she wouldn't mind," Ruth said. "She enjoys everything we do, don't you, Sharon?"
The girl sighed and nodded. What else could she do? They had her hooked and they knew it. And now that her best friend was involved too, there was no way she could back out.
"That's terrific!" Allan said, grinning from ear to car. "Well then, let me get a dildo and get everything ready."
Barb walked over to Sharon while Allan was rummaging through the dresser drawer. "You're not mad at me, are you, Sharon?" the blonde whispered so low the others couldn't hear.
"No, I'm not mad. I guess I just got carried away." Sharon hesitated. "You really like this stuff, don't you, Barb? I mean, like, you really love to fuck and suck, don't you?"
"Gosh, yes! Don't you? I mean, Jeez! There aren't very many places where you can do everything like this. Other kids have to sneak around and fuck in back seats of cars and everything like I did. It's a lot more fun like this, don't you think?"
Sharon shrugged hopelessly. "I suppose so."
"Here it is, girls!" Allan announced. "Here, Barb. Let me get this thing on you." He walked over to the blonde and she held the shaft pressed against her pelvis as Allan attached the straps.
"Isn't this great?" Patty squealed, jumping up and down. "I can't wait to see the pictures. Boy, I'll bet everyone will want one."
"Settle down," Ruth said as she stepped behind the big camera. "Chuck, go wash your cock off before Barb sucks it. I'm sure she'd like it to be nice and clean."
"Okay." The boy jumped off the dresser and went into the bathroom.
When they were all set, the children began clambering up onto the huge satin-covered bed. They each knew the positions they were supposed to take, and got into them. Allan adjusted the lights while Ruth set the settings on the camera.
"Whenever you're ready, kids!" Allan said when they were set. "Make it last for a while, will you? We want to use up the rest of this film."
"Okay, Dad," Chuck said, aiming his dong at Barb's mouth. "We'll hold it as long as we can."
The young blonde gripped the dildo tightly, bent it down, and aimed it at Sharon's milky opening. When the bulbous tip had entered the hole, she pressed forward with her hips, forcing the gigantic poker deep into Sharon's belly.
"Jesus!" Sharon cried out. "Barb! God, that feels good! Gggnnnuuuggghhh! I want it all! All of it!"
Sharon was still trembling when she looked down at Patty's creamy slit. The young girl was holding the lips of her twat apart with her fingers, waiting for Sharon's mouth to lick it and lap it. Sharon winced when the tip of the dildo slammed into her womb, then she bent her head down, opened her mouth, and stuck her tongue into Patty's dewy valley. "Uuummm! Uuunnnfff!"
"C'mon, Barb!" Chuck coaxed. "Put your mouth on that dick!" He moved forward until he could press the swollen end against the blonde's lips. She didn't hesitate. Opening her mouth wide, Barb engulfed his tool and began slurping wetly, tonguing the sensitive underside of his peter.
"Suck it, Barb!" he groaned. He buried his fingers in her thick hair and held her head tightly as he began pumping his prick in and out of her mouth. "Uuunnnggghhh! Oh, God!"
Barb lifted her hands from Sharon's back and clasped Chuck's sturdy legs. She began hunching the dildo quickly at her friend's twat as she gobbled the boy's delicious cock. The pressure against her clit was exciting her pussy tremendously, and her lush body quivered as she sucked and fucked at the same time.
Sharon had her face buried in Patty's creamy crevice and she was swishing her tongue around in the girl's opening as she backed against the plunging dildo feverishly. The aroma of Patty's young pussy filled her nostrils as she gulped the tasty milk that flowed from the dilated hole.
"Suck me, Barb!" Chuck cried out. "Suck me! Suck that dick! Oh, Christ, what a mouth! Blow me!Blow me! Aaarrrggghhh! Oh, God!"
The boy's head was bowed as he watched his saliva-wet pecker slip in and out of the blonde's mouth. She was doing fantastic things to his tickling dick with her tongue and he quivered all over.
Barb's hips were a blur as she hammered Sharon's twat with the fake cock. Cuntal milk oozed from the folds of her pussy and down the insides of her thighs as she slammed the dildo into the liquid-filled tube.
Oh, My God! Sharon screamed silently. I love it! I love it! God help me! It's fantastic!
"Eat me!" Patty shrieked. "Oh, God, Sharon!" The girl had lifted her hands to her titties and was milking them as she hunched her ass off the bed at Sharon's greedy mouth. She had already climaxed once, and was trying to do it again.
"Suck it!" Chuck groaned. "Suck me! Oh, God, Barb! Harder! Suck it harder! I'm going to come! Aaarrrggghhh!"
The blonde was pumping hard at Sharon's cunny, forcing the long pole in and out the full length of the shaft as she licked and slurped on Chuck's throbbing rod. She was on the verge of orgasm, but she held it, waiting for Chuck's manly fluid to spurt into her mouth.
Sharon had forced her tongue deep into Patty's cunthole and was swirling and writhing her cunny on the stabbing dildo. She felt the familiar tingles of her pussy and knew that climax was only seconds away. She clenched her cuntal muscles on the spearing dick, lapping frantically at Patty's milk-filled canyon. Then it happened. She lifted her face and shrieked. "Wwwaaahhh! Barb! Oh,my God! Wwwhhhuuunnnggg!"
"Barb!" Chuck yelled, "Now! Ungh Ungh!"
The instant Chuck's boiling cum began spurting against her throat and tonsils, Barb's climax erupted. She shook and quivered as she gulped the thick cream. "Uuummm! Uuunnnfff!"
Patty was still thrashing in climax, rolling back and forth on her back. "Gggnnnuuuggghhh! Aaaggghhh!"
While the four children wheezed and panted, whimpered and moaned as the result of their sexual explosions, Allan quietly slipped into his robe. When he was ready, he touched his wife on the arm. "Ruth, I'm going to go pick up the mail. The kids still have time to sort it before lunch. We might as well use the girls as much as possible while we can. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"All right, dear," Ruth said. She took the film out of the camera and set it on the dresser top… "That was perfect, kids. Now, everybody go to the bathroom and get your things on. That's more than enough for one morning."
Sharon was the last to move. She was still crouched on the bed when everyone else had gotten off and were taking turns going to the bathroom.
What's the matter with me? she thought miserably as she slid off the bed and got to her feet. I can't stop it! I can't stop myself! What in God's name is wrong with me?
"You really like that, don't you, Sharon?" Ruth said as she slipped into her robe. "You're taking to all of this like a duck to water. We're all very glad you like doing it. It certainly helped us out of a tight spot, I'll tell you."
Sharon could only nod mutely as she waited for Barb to come out of the bathroom. If Ruth only knew.
