" Lavina finished that last parttrying to bring Emma back up, she had seen that she had bothered her abit. Lavina couldn't believe someone who had onc... been such a tough boywas so bothered by what she had just said, if she really thought aboutit, it would probably make her laugh really loud. That was not why shewas there though, it was to seriously get to know Emma, to see if therehad been any side effects of the change happening with Cathy's bracelet,and if she could make Emma like her, that. Some time in the early morning hours I was awakened when the lady rolled over on her side toward me and her right leg crossed over mine. I ignored it and dozed off again. Not long afterward I was awakened again when her right arm crossed my chest and she nuzzled up against me as if trying to get warmer. I was glad the old man wasn't able to see us in that position for fear of what he might think and how he might react. It was warmer with the two of us so closely positioned and I soon drifted. Rose put his collar back on and tried to get him to go home, he was inside the pen and was not leaving. He was a good dog and gentle, so I told her he could stay for a while if it was OK with her. Both dogs were lying together enjoying a sunbeam, Rose hated to break up true love so she agreed. I invited her to join me on the patio to enjoy a drink, she had a Pepsi, and I chose my favorite, Dr. Pepper. We talked and watched the dogs for about an hour, when she announced she had an appointment. What she saw when she got there gave her pause; Pete was there, holding open a box while Bianca methodically emptied it, placing things in two or three separate piles. Neither of the pair was positioned to see her, so Inez merely waited, silently observing. Bianca would extract something from the box, and either place it on the trash pile without comment, or place it on the 'to keep' pile, sometimes murmuring a comment regarding its significance to Pete. Inez watched the pair do an entire box.
