I was filled with excitement and anticipation after a phone call from my boyfriend last night. Dave asked me if I would go for a ride on his bike. I e...gerly consented as it had been years since I was last on a motorcycle and I deeply missed riding behind a man. I had a thing for bad boys and motorcycles, there was still something about them that I found to be erotic, and apparently, at thirty-eight I still do.I cannot wait for our day to start and I got up early to be ready when Dave arrived. I. "Nothing, Grandmother," he told her tenderly. "I was just saying this must bring back a lot to you, and I guess it does." Yes," she said. "A very big lot." She bestirred herself mentally. "But it should be special for you and Alicia, it's your first time here. You'll be among the last to see Eden as it was and is and won't be for very long at all now. You too, 'Sheda," she added, turning to the astronomer. "And you as well, Arlen," she included Nassir, who was piloting the lander.As the craft. I feels good to have a job done, even though there is still so much to be done before I finish this piece. That what I love about art, there is always more to do. Still drying my hands I walk over to Eliot's mess of papers of the table. Usually he writes in his study, but now I see that he is editing, massive amounts of text annotated with a red biro. I try and read in between his scribbles but I can't make head or tail of anything this far through a plot, so I abandon the task. I hang the hand. God I hope cops bust in here or something. Steph is a bit more optimistic about our fate. We might not be for sale. Maybe theyll just… Uhh… Play with us for a bit, and then let us go. I walk closer to Steph. They wouldnt just let us go. Even if all they wanted was sex, theyd kill us afterward to keep us from going to the police. Stephs eyes go wide. What are we gonna do? What CAN we do? I walk around Megan to the door and fail to turn the knob. I look at the knob, trying to think of any other.
