My soul aches thinking someone else was there for youand not me."This Navy Seal of yours, Derrick. Tell me more about him. You seem to bevery close t... him."Ellen sighed and got a dreamy like expression on her face. "He has thebluest eyes you have ever seen. You can get lost in them when he staresat you."Overall he is a brute of a man with a barrel chest and arms as big asmost men's legs. Regrettably, he is not Mensa material but don'tunderestimate him. He's tough as nails and street. They all laughed again and said they were about to find out. I was told to turn around. As I was standing there with my back to them they started taking turns slapping my ass. I was slapped by these three very strong men very hard about thirty times. It really hurt I had tears coming down my cheeks. When they saw this they all started slapping me again another thirty or forty times. I actually lost count. The tears were flowing down my cheeks but these guys just laughed at me. They told me. He had kept himself very fit. Sylvie was a waif of a girl, looking about 18 at the time of her rescue, but in fact she was the good age of 26years. Her hair as far as he could see was a light ash blonde and her eyes were a bright emerald green. She was about 110lbs and stood about 5ft 4in. She was also very fit, probably from going to the gym or jogging. She asked how the other people on the boat had fared and Dan told her that they had all survived and were being looked after by his. .. since then." Damn," Liz said, shaking her head. "I guess that's five times more than I've been back but ... I didn't see that from you. I guess we both stay away for the same reasons."I glanced away and gave her a look to express my disbelief."I never saw your life as ... bad," Liz clarified."Liz, we don't go back for exactly opposite reasons," I told her. "You don't go back because you don't have to. Everyone knows you made it. You don't want to hear them lie about how they always knew.
