nestled beneath a huge picture window, but there was a cover over it like you would find on an outdoor hot tub. A stand up shower was to the right of a spa vanity with double glass vessel sinks. The shower was like a room but it was encased in glass, which meant it would be an off-limit zone for Jason.
    Robin slipped off the comfy slippers and stepped into her bathroom shoes—they actually had the word ‘Bathroom’ written across with a cute cherubic little girl blowing out rose petal kisses. Robin shook her head and smiled but decided that she would go along with the program.
    Once her feet were properly adorned, Robin walked into the room not immediately seeing a toilet. There was a wooden wall on the opposite side of the shower and she opened the door only to find a small sauna.
    Damn, was all that she could think. Akita Tom knew how to live in style. Eventually she saw another one of those artful screens and when she pulled it back she saw a toilet. Gratefully she saw that it was just a regular toilet but on the wall to the side was an electronic control center. Robin looked back and forth from the toilet to the controls.
    “Jason! What the--?”
    Jason appeared shortly. “Oh yeah, those. Well you can wash your butt—or your lady parts while you’re using the toilet-“
    “Ugh! I heard about that. Where the water from the toilet sprays up on you-“
    “No, it’s not like that. It’s not the toilet water, it’s a fountain.” Jason could see that Robin didn’t understand, so he explained how to work the controls and wanted her to sit down on the toilet while he walked her through it.”
    “Uh … no.” Robin ushered him out of the room. She had some business to attend to that went beyond reliving herself and the cleansing function of the toilet although strange might come in handy.
    When Robin returned to the bedroom she had a smile on her face.
    “Jason, you should put one of those in your house.”
    Using his cane he walked stiffly to her and pulled her against him.
    “Would you like that Sweetheart? Would you like your own personal toilet? I can install anything you want in the house.”
    Robin cocked her head. “I meant for you, silly. You know how your hands don’t always work so well.” She went up on tiptoes and kissed him lightly before moving on to her suitcases to begin unpacking.
    Jason received the kiss and contemplated whether or not Robin would move in with him—whether she would accept a proposal of marriage from him. He would have to work hard to rebuild the trust between them. It was unfortunate that it would begin under the nose of the one person she didn’t like; Amberly. But it would just be for a week or two and he had already noticed that Robin was not open to making up with his old friend.
    This would be interesting, Jason thought.
     

     
    Jason moved carefully down the stairs. He was anxious to talk to J about all the things the older man was hinting towards. On the plane, Jason had talked to Peter who was just as clueless. Jason looked at Robin who had changed into a long flowing summer dress that brushed the floor. Her short hair was wrapped and partially concealed by a colorful scarf and she was so beautiful that he nearly dismissed J and their important meeting.
    But Robin already had her arm hooked around Belinda and the older girl was dragging her off—hopefully not to smoke weed.
    “Do you need anything, Jason?” Y asked, pulling him from his thoughts.
    “No, thanks Y.” Jason looked around. “It’s nice being back here but …”
    “I know,” Y replied. “Without Akita the place isn’t the same.”
    J and Peter were sitting around a low table where refreshments of tea and bottled water was positioned. A third man was seated there as well and Jason didn’t know him. He was dressed in a stylish dark blue suit, a blue shirt and blue silk tie. He was a mid-thirties Asian man that wore glasses with tinted yellow lenses that oddly worked.
    J stood. “Jason, let
