Then she saw Morgana.She smiled for a moment. Then her eyes rolled up and she went limp.The earthquakes stopped.Morgana struck the ground with her sta...f. She said something in a loudvoice. Jas recognized it from gaming. She invoked the name of ...somebody. They'd gone on a quest.... For a particular goddess? But thathad been a game and this was real.The earth started shaking again.Morgana said, "Can't leave it half-done." What did you do?" Jas asked as he and Morgana hustled to keep up withMr.. ..I was about to leave but then I decided to walk over and see what he was looking at. Friends could do that, right?I watched him type up some papers on lesson plans and schedule changes until he swiveled around in his chair to face me. I always liked the way he dressed, it was so casual, yet flattering to his body. I liked when he wore his jeans and white t-shirt, it complimented his slightly tanned skin and his brown eyes.I never noticed how he smelled before. Did I have to smell every person. Way to go, you asshole."I guess I do want it, in a way. A stupid fantasy. I was being ironic when I mentioned earlier about teachers that have sex with their students." She gave Jason an earnest look. "But I never did it, Jason. Not before Richie. God, I came close a few times. But I stopped myself. And then Richie ... h-he did whatever he did to me..." I'm sorry," Jason blurted. "I'm really sorry this happened. Maybe we stopped it sooner..." But how did he do it, Jason? How? How did he get. Shall we?"Both said "Alex" in unison.She turned to him with a tease, "You, too, daddy."She went back to her salad. Brooks said to the girls, "Alex says go wash your hands and set the table. We'll be eating soon."After dinner and having put the girls to bed, Alex wanted to watch a video. She went to the cabinet to look over his extensive collection and found The Bridges of Madison County. "How about this one?" Pick another if you don't mind. I'm not up to that one tonight." Well, I don't want.
