" My face stung bright red, and people in the parking lot look on at us akwardly. I lowered my head and nodded, not wanting to upset my master. He led...me throughout the store, and eventually to the bathrooms. He shoved me into the Men's room, and luckily it was empty. He pulled me gently by my hair and into the handicap stall, he left the door halfway open.Still by pulling on my hair he brought me down to my knees. "You know what to do" He said. And I knew exactly what he wanted. Using my teeth. I listened to the doctor's words, nodding as if he was there with me and finally said, "Thank-you doctor, we'll be down later on." Tell me please Dave, it's bad isn't it?"I nodded and said softly."A complete nervous breakdown, she had to be sedated in the night, heavily sedated." Oh, Dave."We sat in silence for a good few minutes, each of us lost in our own thoughts, then the phone rang again, it was Jeff, my mate on the force."Can I come and see you, Dave, I've got something to tell you?". Her husband had left her in the care of a strange man. She was utterly alone. The maid was at the market, and her son was away at school. She jumped, startled by the knock on her door. Should she answer it? Ignore it? ‘Come in,’ she said, her voice thin and shaky. ‘Ma’am, my name is Dr Reeves. Your husband has consulted me to help you with your ailment,’ the strange man said, through the door. Dr Reeves opened the door and studied the small woman in the room. She was short, in fact he stood. Even though she had originally wanted me to take hormones, I wasn't sure how she would react to my latest revelation. She was incredibly supportive. For like the gazillionth time that summer, I thought how lucky I was to have a wife like Kathy."When do you think I can start?" "I'll call my gynecologist this afternoon," Kathy said. "And set up an appointment."Time passed. I had taken up permanent residence in the guest room by now. Kathy said it was good for married couples to have a little.
