I’m selfish, I want you to be at home in bed...with me all night every night.”Throwing her arms about me Wishes kissed me hard.“Thank you honey, that’s so sweet of you, I want to be with you every night as well.”We kissed for a while before Wishes pulled back slightly.“I love you so much honey,” she whispered to me, then sat back and grinned at me.“I didn’t realise you were so sneaky, when did. You guys don't want me. Maybe You exist for Beth, but You sure as hell don't exist for me. I gave You this opportunity to speak to me and You turned me down. I'll remain open, of course. You can reach me tomorrow or next year. But I can't help but wonder why You didn't make Your move tonight. Beth, you saw that God passed up this opportunity. Maybe You need to reconsider YOUR beliefs. What do you think?" "That's not the way it works," she said. "God doesn't show up on demand." "Sweetheart, that. They worked hard all day. Hell, Steven just went to school like her and Jody.She resisted the temptation to toss the mashed potatoes in Steven's face when she brought them in and set them down on the table.

How many times I have to tell you guys that?" he demanded,. Once in the car she sobbed like the world was ending. After about 15 minutes Lexi came to a decision. Her heart was already broken and she needed to survive this. The only way to do this was to leave. She took off as quickly as possible from the parking lot and towards the home she had been in for the last 10 years. She would be in packed and gone before anyone got home. ************************************* Back in the office all the McCloud’s had gathered except Callum as he was out of town.
