What are we going to do there?" Pat asked."Buy more food there," Shannon told him."Find somewhere to take a bath!" Sheena suggested to him, expectantl...."We can't remain in Gray too long. We don't know if the Duke will send others after us, but we can probably stay long enough to all take a bath," I told them. "After that, we'll move up the Saone River until the 'Book of Dreams' finishes the women's instructions. Then we'll return to Grandfather in Frankfurt." Isn't Frankfurt a long ways?" Clare. "Where... are we... going?" I gasped, running short on breath."I don't know..." she responded."I don't think... they're still following us," I told her, lookingbehind us and seeing nobody in pursuit.The two of us slowed to a stop. I immediately doubled over breathingreally hard. I guess this body wasn't in as good as shape as my realone."You okay?" Mrs. Taylor asked me."I'll... be okay... What's going on here?" I wish I could tell you." Where are we going?" I don't know," she replied, seeming. Nothing to spoil the moment. Chad kissed the top of her head and held on while their breathing and heartbeats slowly returned to a normal pace. He wanted desperately to be able to tell her that he loved her, but he knew he would fuck it up somehow. So, he just continued to hold her, praying the right words would come.Reina cuddled closer and whispered hoarsely, “Do you want something to drink? I’m so parched from all that heavy breathing.”Chad laughed and kissed the tip of her nose, recalling. I easily won the first two games and felt like a badass drinking my whiskey coke courtesy of Roger. Roger bought another round of shots and then decided to escalate the bet. I was drunk, feeling confident, and willing to take almost any bet; so when Roger said he would pay for my entire tab if I won, I accepted. Then he told me in return he wanted to fuck me, I laughed it off.Roger started the game and expertly started to work the table. I knew I had made a mistake when he won the game in.
