Casper. How long have you been seeing her?"Dr. Casper was Mary. I had been calling her Mary since the first sessionI'd had with her. It was one of the... first things she had asked me to do.I didn't really know her as Dr. Casper."Six years," I told Dr. Holbrook."Six years!" she repeated. She seemed impressed. "What made you decide totransition now?"That was not an easy answer. Instead of trying to make it sound like onewe told her about the accident and everything that had transpired untilnow,. Darius took the phone. ‘Hello, Officer Granger.’ He spoke before he heard his Mom’s voice. ‘Darius, you bring my girls home. You hear me son. Find them and bring them home.’ Marge Granger sobbed in the phone to her son. Her words broke him and his breath heaved. His team stood around him as two of the higher ups closed off the room to give them privacy. ‘Momma, I can’t lose her. Momma, I don’t know…’ He whispered into the phone. The thought of losing Cynthia was so devastating that he dropped. "There is one problem."She stopped. "What's that?" No girl would EVER fall for such a line." Well... ," she hedged. "If it was the right girl."I laughed. I had snagged her with her own words.She was quite animated and talkative on the drive to my house. I said a lot of "Uh-huh's" and Mmmm-hmmm's."At the house, I pointed her toward the bathroom so she could change into the first top. I checked my phone messages."Hi, Mr. Mann," the message said, "Dave Parks here. Something happened last night. Then she said something that every boy/teenager wants to hear, “I want it.” Or so I thought. What she actually said was that she wanted to do something and reminded me what the price would be for not playing her game.Barb told me that after the pond she had rubbed herself to sleep every night and she wanted to feel it instead of her fingers. Barb told me to sit on the bottom step, then she spread my legs and sat down on my lap.So, there I was, a huge boner, and a teenage girl sitting on my lap.
