Several marriages   are based on mutual interest and are great success and  life becomes   comfortable 

She bit her lip she had never done this kind of fun trip before,  it wasn't absolutely right but it wasn't  absolutely wrong either  , John was  a  faded memory,  , he said all he wanted was a sensitivity  that is  forever,   she  pulling him towards herself declared he was just  at the right place,  he pushed her aside  , he didn't want to leave her but larya must trust him he will come back for her again,  larya was  certain  Fred could give her all that she wanted  before Claudio returned  next week,  except that he wasn't  rich enough
