She’d come round in time. The bottle of water I’d given her earlier was now empty; I guessed that she’d used some of it to rinse out her mouth, ...hen drunk the rest. She’d survive until I gave her another one.I took myself for a slow stroll around my property; it was quiet and peaceful, and I remembered again exactly why I’d bought this place as a refuge from the noise, smell and traffic of town.

Martin tried to pull away from the grip of thetwo men who assisted him one more time. He was pushed into the doorwayand he stood there wearing a white knee length satin robe tied at thewaist.

That night during dinner, she smiled for the first time looking at me. Same kissing on hand continued for next 2 evenings.After that on the 4th evening we were only 3 persons; we both and my grandfather. My grandfather is 98 years old, so he could not hear properly and after some time he slept on his chair. I took advantage of this situation. I dragged her to me and said I love you in her ear. To respond this, she also said ‘I Love You’. Then I planted a kiss near to her. Dementsprechend bema? sich auch die L?nge meiner zuk?nftig zu tragendenR?cke. Kaum einer war mehr wie knielang.Mein einziger Trost war, dass es Tanja nicht besser erging. Doch imGegensatz zu mir scheute Tanja sich nicht daran, so auch in die?ffentlichkeit zu gehen. Dies lag wohl auch daran, dass sie von Naturaus weiblich war und es f?r sie alles ganz normal ist. Ich hingegenvermied es mich anderen Personen zu zeigen oder sonst irgendwie vonjemandem gesehen zu werden. Ich kam mir vor und f?hlte.
