Candy went to her room right after dinner and talked on her cell to Arianne.***Later that night I was in my little home office. Linda was watching TV ...in the bedroom.Candy came in and walked right up to my office chair. She held out her hand and let a balled-up pair of her panties unfold as she held them by the waistband.I looked up at her with a questioning expression.“If I give you these will you masturbate with them?”“Maybe.” I said and reached out for them. “I’ll let you know ….”She snatched. The only other thing I know Oguni is that there is a temple nearby - Yama-dera.”“Will you fly or take the train?”“According to Sensei Jim, I’ll be taking the Yamagata Shinkansen line from Tokyo. Fortunately, I’ll have someone to guide me. My Japanese Sensei’s grandson, Hiroshi, will meet me at Narita Airport.”“You’ll be gone for a month, right?”“My return flight is on the 20th. The following weekend there’s a wedding I need to go to, so I think our next meeting at the dojo is going to be July. It’s not as if every hurt or injury I take is erased. And I don’t know what causes it. Maybe I have to be mortally wounded. Maybe I have to have the energy reserves to fuel it. Maybe the stars have to align just right. Whatever the case, sometimes it happens… and I Mend.” “You Mend?” Silmaria echoed. “Mm. It’s what I’ve come to call it. I don’t know what else to know it by. I’ve done research. Deep, thorough research. I can’t find mention of it in any sorcery, faith text, or book of lore I’ve. I feel pretty bad about that.”“I can imagine,” Jack said. He realized that he hadn’t really thought that much about what the women had gone through in becoming widowed. He said, “It must have been rough for them.”“I don’t know what I’d do if I lost Laura,” Dave said. Just the idea of it made him sick to his stomach.“I’m sure it would be rough,” Jack said pulling up to the entry of the landfill. He pulled out the ten dollar bill that would let them drop off their load and rolled down his.
