" My god, that's so awful. Where did you go?" To my sister first, and then an aunt offered to help. She looked after Bernie while I finished school, w...nt to university then trained as a doctor for six years. I hardly knew Bernie at all. Now my aunt is sick so I have my daughter back at last. We've lost the bond, however, and we are working on getting to know each other again."At that point the front door slammed and Bernie came in with some shopping."Hi Lyn, you are here already? Sorry I wasn't. ? ?I?m sorry if I offended you, Eva?I?I didn?t mean to?? ?So answer the question?do you like me or not?? she lookedat me, dead serious. ?Well I?I suppose I do but?? ?But what?? Why sonervous??? Again, Eva was seriouslyasking me?it was hard for me to handle. ?But I always thought women preferred to do thingsprofessionally?I mean?I don?t want sexual harassment if you know what I mean?? ?Oh you can hardly call it that?you never laid a finger onme?but as for me?? She quietly sat down on a log next. I figured that once there, we could stay for however long it would take to bring Julie back to me! While at the motel the first night I called work, took all of my vacation, and some sick leave. I told them that I was having some medical problems and would be hospitalized for a short while.Julie was a little withdrawn the first night at the motel. We didn't have any form of sex, and I was watching out the window every so often, checking for trouble. We talked about quite a few things, but Julie. "Youlittle bitch! How could you do this to me!" Once again I reached aroundthe seat to smack her but Maybelle and Daisy held me in place."Aaaaawe, dosen't Jamie look so sweet with his earings?" The vanerupted with girlish laughs as I reached up and pulled off the earings.I then threw them right at Dixie which Mrs Carter wasn't happy with."Jamie! now settle down and stop throwing things!" "But Mrs Carter, Iwas only trying to...." "All of you settle down and relax we still have2 hours to go.".
