Does that make any sense? I'm not sure if it does or not."I think it was around this time that I actually took my first hit on one of those bong's. I'...d been refusing to puff on them for the past few hours, but I could already tell I'd gotten loaded anyway. Time was kind of getting away from me by then anyway, and I had already started feeling a little hungry too.I remember mentioning to someone that I could stand to eat a little something, and one of the woman started bringing us all bowls of. Your thing for Kathi...." Her voice trailed off. "I've seen how you have been looking at her. She probably has a thing for you too from what she said while we were drinking wine." Melody told me of Kathi complaining because her husband Ted was never home, and how lucky I was to have a man like you around. "When we had more than a little wine she asked how you were in bed. I thought it an odd question but then she and I always talked about the boys we dated back when we were still in high. Idid not sleep well that night.I was kept awake in part by what I had learned from Alwyn that day. I hadcompletely underestimated the woman. Why had she waited so long to tell meher story? It wasn't a matter of security in the Council. I had toconclude that she wanted me to get to know her as a simple woman, to makea friendship without the strangeness of her history clouding therelationship. And to see if I would really become a friend on the basis ofher being a simple old woman. Simple she was. "Nooo!" she squeals in surprise, watching the door zoom away from her with all of her possessions, "Fishsticks!"She begins to slow down when suddenly an arm catches her, pulling her into the safety of the train. She lies on the ground breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She doesn't notice her rescuer for what feels like minutes, but when she does it seems he's distracted by her chest."Oh - I'm ever so tired from that run! Excuse me for being so out of breath."
