We didn't get to see or hear the rest because Porsche decided to takeoff, playing the part of spoiled rich brat. I chuckled thinking she'dhad more tha... enough practice in the past.When we finally got to school I saw they were already there. Their carsbacked into the parking spaces instead of pulled in like everyoneelse's. I noticed there were several other cars scattered through thetenth and eleventh grade dorm lots that were backed in as well, but theydidn't stand out at first.When we were. Oddly enough, as soon as we arrived and she took my hand, the pangs stopped. That hadn't been enough with my other girls and thoughts about what Michael had said about me and Sally being Soul Mates made me wonder what all that included.When we arrived it was easy for me to spot the girls. Four gorgeous women in various dazzling outfits were hard for anyone to miss."Is that them?" Sally asked when she spotted them."Yes," I said softly. Even though our conversation about my life and how I was. “Oh, sorry,” she said, pulling back. She ran her palms down my arms until she could take my hands in hers. She looked down at me a mixture of anguish and relief on her face but nothing but grief in her eyes and all the anger drained out of me. She must have sensed that because she looked at Will and said, “He knows?”Will nodded.“I thought you were going to wait until he got home.”With a shrug, Will said, “You know what he’s like. He insisted.”Delicately put, I thought.Emily turned back to me. Rape and abuse weren't unheard of here but they were very rare, and the girls didn't tease him overmuch.We ended up spending the rest of the time until almost sunset talking with Denac. I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself and to tell the truth I was too. Before we left I told him that I would be gathering some firewood tomorrow and that I'd be sure to bring him some when I came back.He tried to protest and say he would be able to get his own but I talked him out of it and encouraged.
