While Mom made some coffee, I kind of mentally debated with myself. Fuck it, I thought, lets run with this and see where it ends, however it ends. ... “Mom, this weekend, I'm going to a rock festival in the South West. It's not a big one, but it's a good one. My friend Dave was coming but he has to work now. I've got a spare ticket and a good tent. Come with me, there will be plenty of good music, drinking and partying, whatever takes your fancy really.”Mom actually looked quite thrilled to. .. She started that study last year when she had that fellowship at Missoula and kept at it all her final year at Georgia. The co-author is a well regarded guy named Glenn Fischer at Missoula ... so this really is a coup for Becky." I'm glad she's doing well. I was worried at first..."I was surprised at that admission."Worried?"Sarah looked serious.Well you know when you came back from Georgia after Christmas ... was it only two years ago?" Two years next month." Well ... not having met Becky. She was only wearing a nightgown. She lifted her left hand and I grasped it in mine."Pug! Thank God, you're here." Her voice was distorted."Don't talk for the moment; the ambulance is on its way. We'll get you to hospital and they will sort you out." She shivered. "Are you cold?" A bit." I went into the bedroom and got the duvet which I laid over her. The lessons of the compulsory first aid course we all had to take reminding me that she shouldn't be moved. My cursory look around down stairs. " I am sorry if we are asking too many questions or if it makes you feel uncomfortable." Just the opposite. I know that this is all new to you… and it really is new to me too. I am guessing there are going to be a lot of questions as we figure all of this out together." She turned and kissed the top of Amy's head and then mine.Amy shifted her body and wrapped her leg over Stephanie's stomach, turned her face towards Stephanie and began to kiss her passionately. I slid my body down the bed.
