“What a magnificent periscope!” Oksana squealed.
For one chilling second I thought I’d been spotted, until I realized she was utterly fixated on what she’d found in Jim’s leather trousers. I had no interest in watching their libidinal activities, so I put my own (actual) periscope away. I could still hear them, though.
Jim purred, “Your recently found love for the Colloquialisms is adorable.”
“Colloquilia is a beautiful country,” Oksana said, her voice breathy. “And their figures of speech even more so.”
“I used to spend summers there with my twin sisters and six half-brothers,” Jim drawled.
That was a lie. With our father and mother both being president at various times, travel to the enemy nation of Colloquilia was strictly forbidden. I didn’t know what Jim was up to, but I hoped it was a prank as opposed to treason.
Jim went on, “Why did your crazy-ass granddaddy abdicate the throne?”
“He didn’t have a choice, if he wanted to live,” Oksana replied. “Now, Jim, I want you to stalk me like a Paradoxica Snow Panther.”
Oksana was Colloquilian? Snow cats are not a rare species here in the mountains, but exiled Colloquilian royalty certainly are.
What was Jim up to?
