"And why haven't you found yourself another man? You know that you can't replace him, but surely Jason would want you to be happy." Please stop, Nik. ... care greatly for you, but I can't handle this conversation right now." She took a long drink of her water and exhaled slowly. "Being alone on Christmas Eve is hard enough, without memories of Jason and the life we could have had on my mind."The older man nodded, then stroked Mariah's hand. She caught her breath as a tingle ran through her,. Before he could leave the canyon behind, he had to satisfy the urge to look. He only took a moment to survey the canyon from his new vantage point and immediately sucked in his breath. Nothing remained of the familiar twistings and side canyons. The canyon had been reshaped, its walls given new form, its floor now covered in a mass of debris. Of its own accord, his body moved a step backward. Then he turned and hastened away.He walked as quickly as he could, working at the remaining stiffness. But after getting a positive response from her, I felt relaxed. I said, “I am coming tonight at 9”. She said, “I am waiting”. Since her town was merely 100 km from mine, it didn’t take much time to reach her house. She welcomed me with a smile.Deepti was wearing salwar kurta looking gorgeous. She looked bit old but it was fine for me. I asked her, “Where is your son?”. She said, “He is in his room and studying”. She came near to me and said, ” My son doesn’t know that you are here”. I asked,. She certainly brought him out of his shell and I got the impression she was a bit of a hidden hottie. You wouldn't know it to meet her, but sometimes ... well ... you never can tell. So with that in mind, I thought I would approach Jenny about my problem with Dana.It seemed like a good idea at the time. Jenny would give me some tips on how to get through to Dana and I'd be grateful. Simple, right? Well, maybe not. Jenny, as it turns out, wasn't thrilled with the idea and wasn't sure she could.
