Secret Desires and Acting Dreams

Every time David came to crash at his friend Mark's house, Mark's wife Marianne would kneel

down in front of him to make his bed. Every time David watched this, his eyes were filled

to test her acting skills. Since Mark was away for the night, she asked David to put on Mark's

pajamas and pretend to be Mark, so she could show how dedicated she was to her art. David

instantly understood what she really wanted. He hesitated for a moment holding the pajamas,

then changed into them and lay down beside
