She raced me to the bedroom,...
- 20 - The morning came too soon. The result of drinking too much the night before was becoming evident by the throbbing in my head. My wife was already up and dressed when I dragged my body out of bed. "Well, well. We're sure a slow mover this morning." My wife was up and dressed and way too chipper in the morning. "You stayed dry all night so let's get...
I won't go into detail about the flexible packaging industry. Suffice it to say it involves plastic packaging which you are all familiar with in your everyday lives. Not rigid plastic, but plastic film ... of all types. This story is a romance that involves the packaging business. I hope you enjoy it. Originally edited by ErikThread and DaveT with my thank...
