The youngsters were delighted with that feature. It would be the magnet for many of their friends over the next few years. For Bill, however, it was a...lonely and unsatisfying life. He loved his children and they returned that love many times over. When he took a moment to examine his existence, he was forced to admit he missed Marion; not the Marion she had become, but the Marion he had loved and who had carried and given birth to their children.He felt he had been generous in the divorce. "I am more concerned with her wearing me out, to be honest. Whatever her problem is, I doubt it's from lack of channeling ability." Is she still upstairs?" Yes, she thought she would wait for you there." Debby paused before she said in a somber voice, "You cannot imagine how glad I am that your relationship with Diane has survived everything that's happened to you both."Heather had not been so sure herself when Diane had confronted her on Halloween night. Diane had been so upset over being used. "Who's a naughty boy, then?" Jessy giggled. "I see where you are looking." She teased me with her words and her enchanting smile speaking volumes, showing that she was enjoying every moment of this situation. "Come and get some, if you want it..." she taunted."No, no. I, I can't do that", I stuttered out, like a gibbering idiot, "I agent come to take advantage of you", I continue rather lamely. "I must remain professional. I'm here to do a job"At that precise moment, Jessy's hand reached down. If I did fall asleep, and I rolled over, there was a real risk that I would fall off the side. I wrapped myself in my blankets and tried to relax.I waited through the night. It was cold. A stiff breeze came up, and froze me to my bones. Even with two blankets, my own coat and Clonk's coat over that, I was still freezing cold. I wondered how the other men were surviving. I scanned the rim of the pass, and they all seemed to be asleep — they were better protected that I was, and I could wake them.
