Breakfast was cooked and ready when Hannah and Lisa went to wake the children. Once aroused, they scurried out to get in line for breakfast. The feedi...ng of the children didn't take long and soon the family was again ready to go. Sheriff Troop told them they should make it to the courthouse before two o'clock today. He also advised them how to go to get to Mexia. That would take a day. The train would be able to camp just about anywhere once they crossed the Brazos River Bridge.With many thanks. Debbie's mother asked Debbie if she felt okay at least twice because she was so subdued. The rest of us had a good time. I certainly had no intention of upsetting Debbie's parents, or my kids, by bringing up the afternoon delight I had witnessed.As always happens, the day finally ended and bedtime swept down upon us. I brushed my teeth and slid into bed. Again Debbie spent an unusual amount of time in the bathroom. I pretended to be asleep when she pulled back the covers on her side and climbed. * * * * *The dirt road out to the house is really hard on Marcus's little Prius, so he's been driving his mom's old red pickup truck since he moved out here. It rattles and bounces as he follows the road past a cotton field and down a hill toward the house. As he pulls up by the mail box, he winds the handle to roll down the window. Inside the box he finds a few bills, some junk mail, and a shiny gold envelope with his first name neatly printed on the center. It has no postage, no return. Just what the hell was screwedup inside my head now? I had to concentrate harder on who and what Iwas.However, I still couldn't take my eyes away from that hot sexy imagelooking back at me from the ancient silvered surface. Even as Icontinued looking at her... at myself, I realized I would just haveto help Elysia with her little problem by going out with Kurt's malecousin Raymond. She was my neighbor; she was also my friend. Goodneighbors and best friends always helped one another out in times.
