I was still wearing my school clothes and mom came up and started toundress me, taking off my jacket and starting on my tie. "Mom, I cando this myself... please let me go somewhere and change, just give mesomething to change into," I pleaded."Come on Tim, these are professional people and they are here tohelp their customers dress and undress, just be quiet while we getyou ready," Mom instructed.I don't seem able to win arguments with mom when she is in thesemoods so I decided it was better just. Erin's omelet was good, but not a good as the ones my aunt made."Okay, let's get going," Eddie said. "We'll do the dishes, you guys take the boat out."The four of us left the galley and went outside. Cindy and Kathy tended the lines and I went up to the bridge with Erin."I'm having a wonderful time, Jenny," Erin told me as she watched me turning on the electronics. "You guys are so much fun. I can't believe you guys talk about sex like you do." We only talk like that among ourselves, Erin. What. I wasn't sure I was going to do it anyway until Cadence jumped. I just kept hold of her." I love you, my hero. I do not want to be the cause of discord between you and your chosen one," Seph said. "I so want to..." She looked at Cadence and tears stung her eyes. I couldn't help myself. I reached across Cadence between us and kissed my caretaker. We managed, somehow, not to get too carried away. I lay down beside Cadence and began to kiss her softly. Her eyes fluttered open."Are we in our bed?. When he did, we arranged to have you brought to us so that you could help your sister out of her trance.’ ‘But… I didn’t do anything…’ Eldrian mumbled. ‘Maybe you didn’t realize.’ Again Sire Mastro turned to Anahid. ‘Child, you started to improve around the time your brother arrived. I don’t understand it either. In truth, I had planned something less simple. It seems Dawn was kind to me. And you, Eldrian, I’d hazard you’ve felt drawn to your sister since coming here, even if you didn’t.
