"Ah! Home at last!" Jake sighed. "It feels great to be out of that hospital!" You have to take it easy for awhile, you know," Frank told him."I want t... go get Béla," Jake replied. His vision of Béla in the night sky kept replaying in his mind. He desperately needed to see her to know she was all right."Not now," Frank said, "I want to be sure you're ready to travel. Another day of rest will be better for you." Yeah, I know," Jake said, defeated.Frank left, promising to be back first thing in. I found Sarah and my brothers in there eating breakfast.“Your father went in to work early, Michael. He expects a very volatile stock market for the next couple of weeks or so, due to what happened last night!”“I understand completely,” I said giving her a hug and a kiss good morning.The boys had been quiet, eating their bacon, eggs, and toast.“Sit down and have something to eat,” Sarah said. I sat next to my brother Charles.Mom put a plate of food in front of me. I didn’t realize I had sat in. "I can't believe what a gold piece can buy," I continued. "One gold can feed, house, and buy fuel for an average family of four, for almost three months, easy. Longer, if they are frugal. The average yearly income of the upper middle class here, is about 11 golds a month. Which puts them well above the local poverty line, and well into a comfortable life."Four gold a year can keep a man, his wife and two kids in food and housing easily, for a year. Imagine! With the kind of money the taxes pull. ' Still face to face with her, she reached to my hand and took the menus.'Thanks.' Slowly, she rose to her tip toes, put her hand around my neck and pulled my face towards hers. Her soft young lips pressed against mine, and I moved with her as her mouth opened and offer me her tongue. She slid her tongue into my mouth, and I gently circled mine around hers. She put the menus on the side behind me, and took my hand. With my hand she lifted her vest up just enough and slid my hand down into her.
