" Look Anne. I like you a whole lot. You could even say I like you better than a bucket of ribs..."Anne laughed, and Mary grinned broadly as she watch...ed them."... but I wasn't born yesterday. You took me home and jumped me the first time I met you, and you knew what you were doing. I liked that. You are smart, sexy, and a good swimmer, too, if that makes any difference. A really, truly woman. I plan to take you as you are, cause that's the way I like you."Anne wrapped herself around him,. Angharad started her research. She ordered books from the library and when they were not forthcoming started to reach further afield into the worlds of Celtic magic and the supernatural. She had found a few snippets of information, that created in her mind’s eye, the kind of woman that Bethani was and had become and it excited her to her very core. She dressed in clothing that was commensurate with those times, these days they call them Goths.She studied hard at school, or at least that’s what. Was passed out on the sofa so Tillie got a blanket and pulled it over him.”He,ll sleep it off and be ready to start all over again in the morning!” She told us. “Is it killing him?” Sarah asked. “Of course it,s killing him! I hate to think of the state of his liver, but down deep he,s still a good man and loves you two.” She replied truthfully. Sarah not much later excused herself as we,d been drinking white wine and wine makes her sleepy. Tillie and I said we,d just watch the end of the TV. .. I had to get a waxboard and write it down. I wasn’t up to that sort of long division in my head. It came out to thirty-five and a fraction days. We’d probably run out of food before that.If we had forty more men, that much water would only last twenty-three or so days. I could hire forty more crew, both sailors and soldiers, and we could stay out for three weeks or so. We’d have to see how fast we went through the supplies.No, dammit. There are no weeks here. There are no months. Sooner or.
