Wondering what had just happened, she answered honestly, “Not in a very long time; maybe ten years.”Pushing himself up to his feet he murmured, �...�What a fucking idiot.”Noah picked up a pillow from a nearby chair, dropped it at his feet and said, “Come over here. I want you on your knees on this pillow.”Nancy smiled a wicked smile as she rolled off of the couch and crawled to the pillow. She didn’t have any doubts about what was going to happen next. Once on her knees on the pillow, she looked up. She had breakfast already made up and we ate together. We didn't talk much and my mother didn't try to force conversation. I think she knew she had to give me more time to adjust to things. Things seemed pretty somber at that moment. Fortunately for me something arrived, by currier, that helped us both to occupy our minds. My mother opened the package and gasped when she saw what was in it. The first thing was the custody papers that gave my mother full custody of me, they only needed to be. After Evelynn and Damien fled to another continent, they bought a small apartment with the money they had, not soon after, Evelynn managed to find a job, still as a headmaster at one of the schools in the area, as her reputation and experience preceded her, it wasn’t even hard for her to be hired, lucky enough for both of them, Damien was also accepted as a student at the same school.Now, as the new school year starts, we turn to an annoyed Damien who slowly enters the school yard as Evelynn. I used to joke that if she had kept her eyes and mouth shut that first night I would never have found her! Our daughter is a beautiful soft caramel brown that causes some people to ask if she in from India. She has deep blue eyes and because she is a distance runner, she has a slim graceful build that allows her to wear even a burlap bag and still look incredible! So walking into an upscale restaurant in my best suit and with her on my arm drew the glance of many a man who would have liked to.
