Gary said "Excuse me."

There was a sputtering hiss from inside Gary's room, followed by a laugh. "Excuse me!" Gary said.

"No problem. After that we could expect it," the young woman said. "You know my mom always says 'Thank you' when someone farts?"

"I noticed," Gary said. "Why's that?"

She said, "When Mom has a room full of naked women doing pleasure exercises and that happens, 'Thank you' puts her at ease so it doesn't break the mood. She also said something about permission to be present in your body."

Outside Gary's room, Hank and Rashida looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and smiled. Rashida pursed her lips into a round pouting shape and winked. Hank grinned.

"I've never come like that," Gary said. "When you were in me and I finally came, it just kind of flowed or something. That was amazing."

She laughed. "You looked like you really loved it," she said. "That was only the second time you've received anal?"

"Yeah. The first time, Stuart got me high," Gary said. "I didn't know if I would like it. I wonder if that's how Peter feels when I do him."

Rashida whispered in Hank's ear. "I love your kids already. They go both ways and your boy gets off on his girlfriend doing him up the butt."

"Let's give the kids some space," Hank whispered. He squeezed her hand. Bedroom or back downstairs? Hank had to make a decision.

Before they could move, they heard a voice rising through Lil's door.

"oh," it said "Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh god! Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eeeeeeeeeee!!!".

"Yay Lil!" Gary and Bernie said in chorus. They laughed.

Hank tugged Rashida's hand and they walked along the thickly carpeted hallway.
