Michelle considered it an hour very, very well spent.Gary went to his workroom once they arrived home. He felt ... distracted and distanced, but with ... driving need to put the last, finishing touches on the object Lea had commissioned. Really, all it needed was a final polishing, not that it wasn't already without flaw.All of it, including the chain, had been hand made. He smiled, looking at the deceptively simple looking necklace. It was made of platinum -- or what had started out as platinum.. V I GOT FEEL THAT I WAS NOT ALONE FOR SOME REASON ANY WAY I ENDED UP FALLING A sleep PISSED UP ON VODKA AND THEN I WAKE UP IN THIS ROOM TIED TO THIS BED A 4 POSTER ONE AND I COULD NOT SHOUT ARE ANY THING BECOURSE THEY PUT A GAG BALLL IN MY MOUTH THEN IN COME THIS BLACK GUY SAYING SO YOU LIKE TO DRESS UP LIKE A LIKE A LITTLE SLUT DO YOU WELL QUESS WHAT IM GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE A LITTLE SLUT OK BITCH I AM NOW YOUR MASTER AND YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY OK SLUT HE THEN COME OVER TO. " Janie, open the door." No." Yes, please Janie, open it. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I don't want you to leave. I don't want you to leave me Janie."Janie opened the door then and looked at Joel standing there. She'd dressed while she was in the bathroom, in shorts and a pink top. She had wrapped a towel around her head, turban style. In Joel's eyes she saw his sadness and she melted."I won't leave you Joey. I hope I never have to leave you."She put her arms around him and held him tight."But we do. A peeping tom's wet dream but did I want that. It was to late now anyway.

Dad had been in the navy and had learned that everything had to be nailed down or put away. Now, not later. So I was just putting the last of my gear away before walking down to the shower block when, "Knock knock", it was Patty and seeing that I didn't have anything to knock on had.
