Lucy twisted just a bit, to and fro, as if flirtatiously. She grinned, just a little, and asked, “Doesn’t your not-so-little friend ever pay atten...ion to his circumstances? We just killed two guys, who appeared to be about to shoot you, and now we’re gonna take an unplanned swim, just to be sure to avoid their friends. And, you, YOU! have a hard on!” She turned to Emily. “Arrgh! Men!”Emily shook her head. “Yeah, but this particular man has led us to relative safety, and went ahead alone into. Platinum is a catalyst for many reactions, and is also very, very tough ... so that was a given for Piper.” I held up a hand. “Those were his words, not mine.”“That’s fine, I know I’m not in the same shape physically as these two. I’ve been doing workouts, though, so I don’t get armchair spread. You know the funny thing is, I’d more or less resigned myself to living the rest of my life down here. Now ... I don’t think so.”Curie leaned over and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. “So, I am not. Abby's group were a little older. The body shyness was transient once they knew that there were no men around. Like the others, their following of suggestions and instructions gave no sign that they knew what was really going on. It was a quiet acceptance that was eerie.Cathy had followed Abby, and now there were sixteen down and only a single group left.At barely ten o'clock, Candy then came down for her second rotation of the day. This was another smooth and uneventful trip. The women were. I think she's a special flower. It's almost like she's been in a prison all her life, and now she's breaking her chains." She reminds me so much of myself, Carla. Remember how I resisted you so much when you were coming on to me? I just couldn't accept myself as lesbian, even though I always knew I was. I remember how free I felt when I finally accepted who I was. "I still remember the first time we got in bed together. And that night we fell in love...? I've never gotten over it. Every day.
