I could imagine what she must look like, sitting at the window watching the rain and wearing what she was going to wear to the park with me. ‘Yeah. ...ot like I’m going anywhere in this weather,’ I said with thinly disguised disgust. ‘I know. I’m sorry.’ There was a short pause before she continued. ‘Hey, since we’re both stuck at home, let’s get stuck at home together. Want to come over here?’ ‘Who’s there?’ ‘Just me.’ Her words caused me to stir there. My imagination ran wild with ideas of what. Emily was very thirsty and spent the next minutes drinking. She finished a cup and the man offered her a second. She was soon done. ?Where am I?? She asked.The man said, ?You do not listen well.? Emily felt the cloth in her mouth and started to try to scream. But the man was to fast and the cloth was soon taped to her mouth.The man said, ?You are a young and pretty thing and naturally curious. I will tell you that we met last night at the bar. You may remember me as Paul, though that is. Dinnertime rolls round and I'd done a pretty good job of avoiding her so far. Then I made my best mistake, I went to the bathroom alone. So I'm finishing up in there and as I turn to leave, in she comes with a friend of hers and I knew in an instant that this was it.She didn't even say anything just smacked me straight in the face, I hit the floor and was dizzy. What a punch! Next thing I know she's on top of me, straddling my chest and using her knees to pin my arms down, her friend was. Talking about my responsibility to others reminded me that I'd failed in my responsibility to her, whether it was my fault or not, and that still hurt. While the kids were playing in the house—Dad was entertaining Josh while my girls were all trying to tell Suzy about her new life—I decided to get out on my own and think about things for a bit.When I casually mentioned that I was heading out as I grabbed my keys, I was quickly confronted by a concerned group of women who halted what they were.
