Gabe took the large crock, now full of snow, over by the fire to warm up and melt the snow.Next Gabe opened the small crock of grain. It was well seal...d with wax and the grain was still good. Taking the pot and emptying the water out of it into the large crock, he sat it near the fire to dry. When the pot was dry he placed some of the grain in it and used the end of the trowel handle to mash the grain as best he could. When satisfied with his work, he poured water from the kettle into the pot. The phone rang. I leapt to answer it. “Sally, what–?”“Caleb it’s Colette again.”“Oh, Colette. She’s taken a lot of her clothes with her. I think she’s left me.” My breaking voice conveyed my feeling of desolation. Why hadn’t she come to me?“Caleb, calm down. She’s probably just embarrassed about the photo’s. She’ll take some time and then she’ll phone you and explain. You’ve not been at home today?”“I was at the police station dealing with weekend drunks,” I said. “I’ve only just got in.”She. It appeared that The Sleep Fairy had abandoned me (Wretched sleep fairy! She had been my favorite!), so I stumbled my bleary self to the bathroom, there to drain the radiator, brush my teeth, and attempt to splash some sensibility into my fogged brain.I returned to the bedroom, and was ambushed by Brenda, who enveloped me in a crushing hug. “Oh, you wonderful man! You have given this girl the very best first time, any girl ever had! I just knew you had it in you!”Further conversation was. When I got to the foot of her bed she told me to sit on the bed, so I did, she said " so you like watching your mum masturbate do you " I told her that I was on my way to the bathroom to take a shower and I thought no-one was in so I decided to take my clothes off in my room, she said " That doesn't explain your hard on " she had caught me red handed and I just sat there and said nothing.After a few minutes of silence she told me to lie next to her, so I slowly moved to the top of the bed next.
