..”“Mama, I’m getting people to call me ‘Etty’ now. I needed to change. Have changed. I’m a new person, with skills, in an important job.�...�“She is,” Bill said, shaking the Committeeman’s hand. “I want her to face the Board for her Master’s ticket next year.”“That’s good to hear, Skipper,” Etty’s father said, turning to Candy. “Welcome, young lady. It’s good to see you again. Bernadette,” he hesitated, “Etty ... has told us how important you are to her, and the Skipper.” He looked round to each. Finally, Kal had gone to sleep allowing the young woman to relax.The disturbing thing for her was that, only working off Kal’s strongest feelings, she had no context for what was happening. Not to mention that she still had no idea why this was happening at all.There was a crash and a cry from the living area, Perra threw off the covers and ran out of the room, mindless of her nudity.“Mom!” she cried seeing Kal’s mother sprawled out on the floor. Perra bent down and lifted her up into her. "Hey, I called 911 when I saw your car, they should be here soon, anyone you want me to call." Please, call dee and my daddy, um..." hey, should you be talking, maybe you shouldn't talk." 555- 7341" you want me to call that," please" I hear sirens, they're coming to help, just hold on." talk to me, please" tay begged."Ok, what do you want to know... i guess anything will work huh, um lets see..."

He picked up the rag he’d used earlier, left the room to get it damp, and returned.She stood, tentatively, as he approached her, and her eyes widened, until she realized what he was doing. He cleaned her jaw, and dabbed at two more spots on her face. Her hands would have to be washed thoroughly, but he got most of it off her arms, while she stood and let him clean her up.“You should paint in the nude.
