To have an adventure. You always talk about how much fun these trips are. I just wanted to see what it was like." Really? That's awesome!" Caitlin's v...ice was full of enthusiasm."I'm surprised you feel that way," said Hannah, dryly."Oh, come on," snorted Caitlin. "How many mothers want to do what their daughters love doing?"Again, while we did not know it, Hannah received this in a slightly different manner than Caitlin offered it."Well, that's why I came," she said, her voice sounding odd.. She sighed again. Maybe a little calmer this time.He felt the pulse in her neck against his fingers and outwaited her. The weight of her head and soft texture of her hair felt good against his thigh.“I don’t want her coming back,” she finally said.“What makes you think she is?”“Just ‘cuz of stuff she said. Her wanting to come back and be with you again. Stuff like that. She practically came out and said it. She asked those kinds of questions she does. The sneaky kind when she’s after. 'Why should they be jealous? No one holds a claim on J'nar the way thatyou do.' The thought had hit her so strong, so matter of fact. It was thefirst time she had heard the dragon so clearly in her mind.'Why do you say that?' she asked, now a bit unsure of herself.'Because we will not allow you to jump between for the next few weeks,'it was almost like an echo of three voices.

Okay, after a night of fabulous sex (as usual) and a day of same-old same-old, we had charity-work night. Piotr was raised with the idea that he was expected to give something back to the community, so at least twice a week, we helped out with some charity work somewhere. Me? I would have been content to just write a check, but Piotr insisted that we do it hands-on, and it really wasn't a big enough deal for me to say no, so we did it. We were working at the soup kitchen that was attached to.
