Summer between Years 8 and 9
"Go out," his father had said.
And, despite being a grown man, with grown sons of his own, Doug listened when his father told him something. Partially because Luca Hunting-Hawk had been a good but authoritative figure, but partially because his father was also his boss.
So he’d gone out. A three-week vacation at a place far in the hills. A "retreat" of a sort he could enjoy. Survivalism.
He could tell the women there expected him to be surprised to see them. They were tough women, sleek, pretty. He just smiled.
Doug knew all about tough, sleek, beautiful women.

*laughing away here* So how many of them are sending kids to Addergoole in 16-18 years?
*smirk* ooooh 2 or three or 4. That would be years 25-29… ooh, let me ping Trix.
Is he going to be in trouble if they compare notes or do they regard him as a ‘benefit’ of their holiday?
well, they’d have to track him down. But I imagine a benefit.
I was actually thinking if they compare notes on the ‘retreat’ but they might still think that’s good if they imagine they have the upper hand. 🙂
Indeed. And might be surprised how readily he pays child support.
And be really surprised at how many of them got pregnant if they stay in contact.
Heee.
