My firmness abated, my spirits sagged. I’m sure my shoulders slumped, all the predictable after effects of an unrequited surge of testosterone. Deje...ted, I steered slowly to the frozen foods,imaging little solace in a micro waved meal. As I examined my choices, debating mentally between the lasagna and the pizza, the air around my was stirred, a swirl of hair brushing past. ‘If you really want comfort food, you need good home cooking’, she called as she spun away again, this time headed towards. When the second set started, Leah was front and center at the stage. She danced with the crowd, threw sexy looks to the singer whenever she caught him glancing at her, and when the singer bent down and poked her nose with his finger, she opened her mouth and caught it, sucking it between her lips and watching the look of surprise wash over his face. For a moment he lapsed on the lyrics and had to pull himself back together. For the rest of the show, he watched her and paid more attention to. I reached for the dress and Susie said, "Hang on! Not so quick! Youneed the petticoat first."I stood there with my heart yet again thumping. A petticoat now! Wherewas this all heading and did I really care any more?!Susie went to the rack and from the rear took hold of the most enormouspetticoat I had ever seen - not that I had seen any before! It wasmulti tiered with layer upon layer of netting making it billow outamazingly.As she came over to me she stopped a few feet away and looked at. We loaded them into the car and off we went.Being that we live so far north and it was the middle of January, it was blistering cold outside. Not quite freezing, but still in the low 40s. It’d be colder in the mountains but perfect camping weather.After a three hour drive, we got to the spot where we always park our car. We got out, gathered our equipment and had a quick bite to eat, before we started the five hour hike to where we do our camping. It’s a long hike but the view of the peaceful.
