"Why don't you have a seat on the couch, Kyle. You look like you had a long flight." Kyle obliged, and she thought she heard a strangle in his throat when she sat in the love seat across from him, crossing her legs in such a way that showed off her thighs. "Why don't we get acquainted?"
"Um...did you want to... get dressed first?"
"Why? Am I making you uncomfortable?"
Kyle's answer was a little quick, "No! No...I mean...not at all. This is your house. I'm a guest." Beth grinned. It was nice to have someone appreciate her body, even if it was just looking.

"Why don't you have a seat on the couch, Kyle. You look like you had a long flight." Beth could see it in his face that he was tired. "I'm going to get dressed, and then we can spend some time getting acquainted."
"That...sounds nice." Did...did he sound disappointed?

Kyle Palmer. Lance Corporal, USMC, had been honorably discharged after a four year tour. He'd been deployed, first in Iraq, and then Syria. Now that he was done with his duty, it was time for him to fit back into civilian life. He wasn't eager to see his and Brian's parents, for reasons he didn't seem to want to get into, and Beth didn't press. That's why he was crashing here, and not in Newport Beach with them. He would start looking for a job, but he was really excited to be home in time for their wedding. Brian had been nervous about the possibility of Kyle getting tied up overseas for another six months or so.
Beth recounted the story of how Brian had proposed, and some little bits about the upcoming wedding. As their conversation progressed, Beth was coming to the strange realization that Kyle was very charming. He had a slightly "rough around the edges" demeanor that she supposed was typical of recently discharged soldiers, but his politeness was refreshing and his smile was roguish. He had much of the traits that she found attractive in Brian, with the additional benefits of youth, and the physical training of a soldier. She knew, from Brian, that Kyle had been a bad kid: ****, fighting, eventually a stolen car and a joyride before an arrest. community service, instead of jail time, had led to enlistment. She had gotten the impression from Brian that his parents had pushed him into the military as a way to "get rid of" the problem. {if Laundry = 1
}Beth made occasional trips to the laundry room during their conversation to move the clothes to the dryer and start a second load, and then later to bring out the first load from the dryer and replace it with the second. Kyle didn't seem to mind talking while she folded, though his eyes lingered on some of her more delicate items. {endif
