After lunch Aaron as promised drove Daisy home and invited him in for a coffee. She had some coke in her wooden box and offered Aaron to rack some lin...s up in the kitchen. Aaron who stood around 6 ft tall was a handsome guy, Daisy was attracted to him but stopped herself from doing anything that might cause confusion. They chatted for the next two hours non stop, giggling like a couple of k**s, what a nice afternoon. Daisy heard the door knock and remembered that Mr Taylor was popping over,. I could taste something sweeter than the infusion on hers. Something that I could only describe as life. Joyful life. I kissed her hungrily. Her hand tightening in my hair, she pulled me away. She breathed heavily. ‘Slowly,’ she said. She kissed me once. Twice. Our lips settled together. How long did we kiss? I am not certain. Time meant nothing to me. I did not realize that there was anything else in the universe except our lips until I felt her hand sliding down my chest. Her fingers worked. " But I am in love!" Armen protested."But Edward is not a girl, is he sire?" she pointed out.Armen shook his head, how unfair, he reasoned."What am I to do?" he asked."Well you could," Greta said, "Be like Cinderella." What, put on a funny dress and wear glass slippers?" he asked."No," she said, "Tell your father you met a girl at the masked ball last night and she rushed away but left." Her glass slipper, she wore glass slippers and went home without one, really!" he countered, "Limping along. ”“OK Becky. That looks like a nice ride.”As they walked towards the roundabout the light suddenly changed as if a cloud had passed in front of the sun. Looking up, Claire saw that there was a translucent dome overhead supported by a gray wall. Oh no! Why today of all days? She burst into tears; Paul and Yvonne weren’t here yet! She was inside a Confederacy extraction and they were outside. There was some announcement about dropping guns and colored lights, but she wasn’t listening. Frantically.
