And I didn't say bah humbug,dammit. Someone was in her house and she was alone. And her gunwas in the study. Jane slipped into her shoes and found h...er keysbefore getting a black-iron poker from her bedroom fireplace. Maybe she could get to the garage and her car.Slowly, she opened the door, poker raised.(Hello, Jane. You won't need that.) the voice said gently fromabove her head as she looked out the door.Jane's head snapped up and she gasped, dropping the poker. Asemitransparent shape. No one dared tell her that she wasn't allowed to move into Percy's room. No one was that brave.Since Percy had a private room, he loved the companionship. Judith was in his bed and in his arms every night. After they were caught a couple of times by the staff, a "Do Not Disturb" sign was added to his room's door knob.To Judith and Percy it was like a second honeymoon with an adjustable bed.For the hospital staff it was a win, win. Judith smiled all the time for the entire week and left them. If things 'clicked', we would go back to Brian's hotel room which was just a couple of blocks away.You could feel the excitement in the air as Mark and I got ready to go that evening. It was pretty weird. I was totally nervous when I was getting dressed. It made me feel funny as I pulled on my panties wondering if Brian would be the one to pull them off! I could tell Mark was nervous too. He gets impatient when he gets like that. When we got in the car, we just looked at each other and laughed.. " Goodnight Duncan. And Duncan? Don't be a stranger. Come back and visit and do it often." I'd like that."And he did. More than once. Often enough in fact that soon Susan and Sheila were calling him "Uncle Duncan", which he rather enjoyed. He became friends with William, who seemed to have no resentment at all at the closeness between the Highlander and Deirdre. Of course Duncan's code of honor would have never let him do anything even remotely forward with Deirdre, regardless of their past.
