Chapter 272

• As time went on, they still spent as much time as they could together, although with tough jobs and three kids now, it was not as often as they would have liked. What time they did get together was cherished and they made the most of it. They weren't teenagers anymore but still made passionate love to each other at least once or twice a week, usually shipping the kids off to one of the grandparent's houses for the night.
• By the time Sidney was seventeen she was a junior in high school, and the boys were sixteen and fifteen as sophomore and freshmen respectively. Sydney was involved in some sports but mainly was kind of a nerd. She studied a lot, hung out with a few friends, but mostly stayed in her room. The boys both played sports, but never the same ones. Steven was a football player, and Thomas (his buddies all called him Tommy) was a skinny basketball player on the junior varsity team.
• Jennifer still worked for the hospital, but had been promoted to charge nurse for her shift at the emergency department about two years prior. Matt had changed companies after a few years, due to some females sexually harassing him on the job, so he now worked for a smaller consulting company that helped out larger corporations temporarily.
