Not in the picture but on the stool in front of me!“Misty!”“Dad!. I…what did you call me?”“Julie, I mean.”My daughter turned and looked...at the screen of her computer then back at me.“Oh,Fuck!” she said.“Oh, fuck indeed.” I was livid. “What do you think you’re doing?”There was silence for a moment then she looked up at me and a smile spread across her face.“Actually, father dear. I’m doing what you asked me to do and I think you find it pretty exciting.”“How dare you…” I began but she. He obviously could use a father figure in his life. His father's in Oregon, you say? Too bad. Because in spite of his brightness, he's becoming a problem here at the Sadley Virgin." How so?" I asked."He's sometimes disruptive in class. Tells the stupidest jokes to his classmates."

Does just as poorly. My heart was pounding and I couldn't get a breath.'What the hell happened?' I thought.The living room looked bare. The presents were gone, but what was just as bad, was that there was no tree. Stories of the Grinch are just that, stories. This was beyond belief.I didn't want to look at Jessica. I didn't think I could bear the look of disappointment on her face."I don't think I can wait," I heard Jessica say.'Wait? Wait? Wait for what?' I couldn't understand.Turning, I looked at Jessica.

She had always prided herself on the fact that she had never sunk as low as selling her body, but then again she had never dealt with a Sorcerer.
