LEAVING IRIS with Williams in my study felt like abandoning my beloved wife in the care of another man because I was incompetent.
She looked worried and I had to kiss her several times to calm her. At least he allowed her to brush her teeth and wear something cozy and warm. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him take her away from me.
Paul and Tim left a while ago so they could buy some ingredients for the nearly empty pantry. The staff here prepares meals for themselves which leaves the pantry inside the house empty until we visit the villa at random times like these.
Taking the lone time I have to myself, I walk around the place. The cleaners are doing a good job maintaining the grounds. Even the maintenance department outside has done a good job keeping the herbs and trees in good condition.
