Angie and Ashley had come with me to Lynn's graduation ceremony. While I had continued my Thursday dinners with Lynn, Angie had also started to talk w...th Lynn regularly. We sat with Summer, who had flown in for the weekend and who became an immediate hit with Ashley by noticing her toy horse and mentioning that she had real horses. Ashley was enthralled. Summer laughed and entertained all of the six-year-old's questions as we adjourned to Lynn's backyard for a small graduation party. I met. She slinked over to me and embraced me warmly; only then did she deign to say hello to Wendy and the others.After a longish pause the passenger door opened and Fran emerged, quivering like an aspen, her face a sepulchral white dramatically framed by her red hair, her eyes staring with sheer terror. She staggered toward me. "James," she gasped, "I am never, ever, getting in a car with that woman again!" Relax, Fran darling," replied Gabby calmly. "I told you we'd be fine." You nearly killed us!". His lips were now only inches from mine as he turned them towards me. I couldn't move. I stayed completely still watching him close the small gap. My eyes closed instantly as his soft lips touched mine. My heart almost exploded out of my chest. My hand ended up clasping the side of his face. Blood boiled underneath my skin, burned in my lips as i kissed him back hard. Those lips. His lips. The ones I had been longing for. The ones I missed so much. They were mine again. He pulled back and. I can see why you had nofear."I looked up at him. "No way, you're totally cute! You look like a youngTaye Diggs!"He laughed. "Do I now, little girl? Well, you want to play D-alt Soldierwith me?"I nodded excitedly and hopped off his lap. I took a seat at the otherstation, took up the controller and joined his game. D-alt Soldier was avideo game created by one of the first D-alt recipients who was aprogrammer. He had worked for EA, and they had released it the first dayhe went into the D-alt.
