"Again, take heed. We will destroy any ship that does not stop advancing on Wolf-439 iv."That was a long message, but it represented the minimum amoun... of information that we wanted the people of Earth to have. We did not think that it was fair to expect them to make a decision with any less information. Sure, the statement that anyone who joined us would be stuck on Wolf-439 iv was not really true, but we were using that to make the people who returned to Earth believe that all they had to do. You and that weird boxthing. What was it? What did you do?" "Shit." Elizabeth's smile faltered as she let out a sigh. "That's what Iwas afraid of." What did you do!?" I yelled."Okay, calm down." She reached for her bag. "Look, things went wrong,okay? I understand that. None of this was supposed to go this way. Butthat's fine, I can fix it. I'm fixing it, Ellen." You can fix it?" Hope rose in my chest."I can. When I'm done, this won't even be an unpleasant memory."What was that supposed to mean?. .you...I...this can’t happen, it’s not right,” I somehow stammered out. Not that I hadn’t fantasized about it, and not that I didn’t have a raging hard-on from the contact and seeing Candice mostly nude and lying pretty seductively, in my bed. Sex with a woman has been almost non-existent since we lost her mother 8 years ago, and I’ve done my best to raise her, but even though I fantasized about something like this happening, I never dreamed Candice might feel the same. Still, you can’t fuck. I had to see what she was doing with my own eyes, so I opted to not say a word about what I saw. I took all the clothes out of her drawer and returned them to the basket in a pile . I placed all the items I found back in the drawer exactly as I remember finding them and did my best to act normal when she got home half and hour later. I had to rub one out before she got home because I was so stimulated and wanted to remain even and calm. I looked for signs of when something was going to happen.
