In some time we reached Valparai…. Murali stopped the car before a wine shop. They took 3 case of beer, snacks, food etc etc. Murali “Dai Nirmal y...ou drive the car I take rest”. Journey started again. By 10.45 we reach ooty. Since they already booked a room we went there directly.It was a big room with 2 queen sized bed with room heater. Immediately after coming to room they throw their bags and opened beers. Till that time I was keeping quite. I didn’t talked to anyone. Murali “Dai, Sanjay you. “You’re here alone aren’t you?” she said. “I am here alone too. There’s a great big bed in my room on which we’d look great together doing a sixty-nine. Do you like sixty-nines?” He said, “Oh god, you are a seriously sexy woman. Yes, I’m here alone and yes, I love a sixty-nine with a very erotic woman. When can we do this?” Em said, “I think very soon. That way if we enjoy each other we can have dinner together tonight and explore a lot of options later.” He looked at her. “Do you often do. ’ ‘You just get better, old friend—you hear?’ Seeing Jake in his state had shaken Taylor, her father had been an alcoholic. She herself had almost started down the same road right after high school. There but for the grace of God. She went home, intent on renewing her search the following day. The next morning she was surprised to discover a small Veterans Hospital. As she walked up to the front door admiring the perfectly maintained rose garden, she was even more surprised when Jake popped. I was reading the first few pages of ‘Hero’s Reward’ by S-Des, my medical condition demands that I lay down and take a rest at regular intervals so, I was forced to break off from reading the story and retire to my bed for a little while. But it’s my body that is tired not my brain. As I lay there thinking about S-Des’s description of the young girl, Paige, my mind drifted to a vague memory of a young lady I once knew and a particular sunset. Add to that certain other points from S-Des’s story.
