Uncertainty, yes – discomfort, yes, but also comfort that I felt supported. Others of the congregation were passing us; I thought I detected a few r...ised eyebrows.I looked at Susan; her beloved face bore ... a smile. A small smile, but nonetheless, a smile. I saw understanding, acceptance and ... was it resignation? I looked at Anna, then Jasmine."You two mind giving us a few moments? Get a coffee? Pick one up for me?"They kissed me, one on each cheek, then to my surprise did the same to Susan;. ”Cathy laughed. “Not just for you, Tom. Remember, I am divorced, so not much sex in my life these days.”Tom reached out a hand and stroked Cathy's hair, gently running his fingers through it.It seemed almost the natural thing to do as she ran the tips of her fingers over the obvious signs of an erection in the front of his slacks. Looking up she saw his eyes were closed. He looked years younger than his six decades.As Tom felt Cathy's soft touch, in his mind it was his Sandra touching,. He almost missed William's answer."I'm going to be arriving there tomorrow afternoon," William said."Does this mean what I think it means?" Oliver asked. He'd been waiting for a long time for William to begin his service. It had always been a foregone conclusion that William would serve the Two-Sided One."Yes." Hello, grandfather." Hello, William." How are you doing?" William asked. His throat was so tight with emotion that it was hard to talk. Now that he had his grandfather on the phone, he. Bent over and just starting to drink,Suddenly someone scooped me up in their arms and put his hand over my mouth. “Keep quite and you won’t get hurt.” He sibilated in my ear.I tried to get free struggling with all my might but it was for naught. He was huge over six feet tall and well over 250 pounds, compared to my 4 foot 10 and 90 pounds. I didn’t have a chance.With one hand over my mouth and the other around my stomach he held me tightly to his chest as he walked away toward the new school.
