Friendship to Passion: A Chance Encounter Unleashed Chance Encounter Part III Friday Night “Marie stop wiggling I am almost done.” Aélita demanded. “Sorry, I’m just nervous.” “I know baby doll, but when I get through you are gonna look drop dead gorgeous.” “She already looks drop dead gorgeous Aélita you’re just enhancing it.” Simon called out from the sitting area.
