Even after making two extra sets of molds, I couldn’t speed up the process because there was only one of me. It turned out that I was the limiting f...actor when it came to melting and skimming gold by hand.These two things combined, meant that at the end of two and half years, I had roughly 20,000 pounds of gold nuggets in a large mound, almost blocking access to the RV. I could have given up my time in Las Cruces, but after almost four months alone in the desert, I craved being around people in. “Let me look at your knee and hand,” he said sitting down on the bed next to me after he had turned on the light that was in the closet.He opened the first aid kit and carefully cleaned out the wound on my palm and knee. After he had bandaged it he leaned back and studied me. Tears streamed down my cheeks for more than one reason, yes, my knee and hand hurt, but I was scared. This was my first tornado (that I could remember) and mom and dad were at work.“Elena,” Jacob said quietly, “what’s. Sudhir par dorey dalne maine shuru kar diya tha. Ek din jab Sudhir mujhe dictation de raha tha to maine jan bujh kar apna haath uski jangh par rakh diya aur uski ankhon mein dekhte huye puchha, ” Sir, kion na thodi der rest kar len, meri unglian dukhne lagi hain aur kandhey bhi dukh rahe hain. Agar aap bura na maine to kaya aap mere kandhon par haath fer kar malish kar sakte hain?” Yeh kehte hi maine apni chhati ko aage ki taraf utha diya aur meri chuchian ubhar kar Sudhir ke chehre se takra. No luck, so I went back to the kitchen and back to daydreaming about Miss Couse.Maybe she was doing what I was doing, imagining me being in the shower with her, and when that thought crossed my mind I chuckled, because that was bullshit. Nobody had ever thought things like that about me, and if they had the did a good job of hiding their feelings.I was debating whether or not to tell my sister that Miss Couse had mentioned her a couple of times, but then again she had asked about how Mom was.
