In the first decades of the 21st century, a new unknown virus spread through the Earth. It goes unnoticed for years because, unlike any previously known virus, the disease it spreads has no noticeable side effects or at least none apparent immediately.

This had now become a daily ritual for her ever since he had started working there two months ago. She stood motionless at the wind...

I always thought that I knew my wife well. Belle can be a major flirt when she wants, but up until recently her antics have been confined to the odd bit of flashing and a few incidental affairs.
