Since my wife felt sorry for the kid – and against my better judgment, I agreed to let him stay. I figured there had to be a reason that his foster ...arents wanted him out so fast, but that’s just how my skeptical mind works. As we sat and talked, my wife asked Drew about his sister Sara. We were both surprised when Drew said they were separated years ago, and they didn’t keep in touch with each other. Also, Drew seemed to be uncomfortable talking about Sara, and then he changed the subject by. 'That wasn't the reason why your hair was wet. It was because Dr Goodchild asked us to run another test.''And you told Dr Beckham THAT!' I shouted the last word at her.'Of course. What's the matter? There's no secret about it.'Except... Except what? There was something wrong, and I couldn't think what it was.I really don't know what I would have done at that stage, but suddenly, I choked. There was something unpleasant filling my mouth and throat! I bent double, still choking, and then dropped. Each word blazes through me, every illusion of control evaporateswith the words as the world shifts and changes...I can hear the sound of Your laughter as cool smooth clean marble gives wayto rough hewn stones. The sound of booted feet echoing off the walls givesway to the muted thud of soles striking packed earth. As You move off eventhat sound becoming lost in the rise of other sounds, people laughing, childrenplaying, women bickering, men bartering the price of barley and hops.. When I reached my office I looked at the shoes. I would be able to dosome keep fit in girly mode. Then I thought about clothes. Within 15minutes I had been on to the internet and placed an order for a sportsbra, a black exercise top, a cropped exercise top in purple, a pair oflong black exercise leggings that had panels that looked like stockings,another pair of knee length ones also in purple and some white anklehigh socks with a turn over frill. I thought about a leotard butdismissed that.
