He mind could not take in enough information. Her imagination kept her company. Through her books, she would travel to far off lands, slay monstrous b...easts, have grand adventures. And while her mind wandered, her body changed. She grew taller, her breasts and hips budded, downy hair grew in embarrassing places. Until the day she turned eighteen. Dawn broke that day, just as is had every other day for her entire life. Sunlight filtered through her embroidered silk drapes, speckling her canopied. As I watched, I wondered how I had managed to take all this abuse then realized quickly that that is why I ached so much. The screen finally went black and I knew my ordeal was over but it wasn’t, at least now just then. No sooner had the screen gone off when the doctor came into the room. He walked over to me and looked down, a slight grin on his face. He asked if I was okay then asked if I liked the film. I didn’t know what to say. I looked at him for a moment then told him that I had. Shethen went on to tell me that she had met a man and though she hadnot yet slept with him, she fully intended to do so. Needless to say, I begged her to give me another chancebut it made no difference and she telephoned him and made a date.She arranged to meet ‘Keith’ at a luxury hotel where he’d booked asuite then informed me that I was to take her there and stay tillshe was sure it was safe. She’s always been strong-minded and once again she gother own way. She. It was known that she had lost her parents at the age of seventeen. A tragic plane crash had taken their lives while traveling on her behalf. It was an event she, understandably, never quite got over. Her parents had supported her rise to fame but were rare in that they had not exploited her as some ‘stage-door’ parents do. She enjoyed the limelight from an early age, but they had always told her that if it became more work than fun, she should get out of the business. Modeling had been her.
