And after we’d eaten and sat around the campfire relaxing, we parted and went to our tents. We had a pretty big tent to accommodate the six pod mate.... There were two ‘bedrooms’ and a central room where we kept our gear. We only used one bedroom with two huge air mattresses covering all the floor space. The weather was plenty warm enough not to need more than light blankets and each other for heat.I stretched out in the darkness knowing some one or more of my mates would join me and not being. "Rhyme or reason?" asked Suzan with a genuine smile now."It's from a playwright, uhm that's someone who makes something that a bard might be telling or singing about and then someone else will help the bard by acting it out. The playwright's name was Shakespeare in my world and he coined that phrase. It means there isn't a reason or pattern to what is happening," said Dusty as she smiled back at her."You always seem to have the strangest things to say when we talk to you," said Suzan as she. I'm sorry Dad."Jack's face was serious then he reached out and hugged me. He said, "We're lucky we have good women to put us back together."It did not get back to normal though. Jack yelled and screamed but he did not hit Nora. Nora weathered the storm and held her husband until he calmed down. I did not interfere but Nora always needed her own support later.Jack had to have something to do so he and Nora made furniture. Oddly the first piece they turned out was a cradle. They both gave it to. It didn't take long to find out. That same night she went out and I was in bed when she got home, but this time I woke up when she came in the front door. Maybe five minutes later my bedroom door opened and then closed as she came in. I heard the rustle of clothing as she undressed and dropped her clothing to the floor. She climbed on the bed with me as I lay there pretending to be asleep and she moved next to me. I felt her hot breath on my neck as she snuggled in against my body and again I.
