My instructor told me that we would be here all day, and night, until I could make it around the course three times in a row without hitting anything....I could go as fast or slow as I wanted. It was almost midnight when I finally managed to figure out how to use just my right foot on the gas pedal and brakes enough to get in my three laps.Back at the hotel I found Beth was already passed out on top of her bed still wearing her sweat soaked clothes. She seriously reeked! I stripped, turned the AC. The older man stared around him in amazement, taking in the shell and its green color for many seconds.“Aye, I can see why you brought him to me now, Thady. Has he done this before?” he asked in a quiet voice.“Yes, he has. He created an eight hundred foot or so shell around my house and buildings, along with various size shells around my children’s houses and buildings. He also covered Jill’s house in Charleston as well as several others with smaller shells,” Uncle Thad told him.“And does he. This can’t be easy for you. Just forget what I said. No pressure.’ He smiled a little at that and allowed her to pull herself together without comment. He was almost sorry to let her go. Sarah had felt good in his arms, as if some of the void had been filled by her presence. He shook himself of the odd thought. Somehow they managed to get dinner ready, and Luke was careful not to ask any sensitive questions as he probed for details about her. She was acting wary again, answering his questions. She catches a lot of the musical shows that hit the city, and you take her to a few screenings. In between, you both discovered some common interests, both musical, cinematic, and otherwise. You've never dated, and it's not, as your mother insists, just a timing thing. You both seem to understand that you've got enough in common to be friendly, but anything more might strain the relationship. You at times think like a guy in the best way when it comes to Sarah. She often dresses in a button up.
