Back home on a summer day. Both my parents were at work, as was my wife. I just was offered a new job and I was taking some time off after quitting my...previous job.I was out front, pulling some weeds from the lawn to kill time. Then a car stopped in front of the house. It was a convertible, and HE was in it.He just left his c***dhood home and was on his way to his new adult home. He saw me and decided to stop and say hello.The first few moments were very awkward. Which you would expect. That. She'd been so turned on; she'd actually masturbated – something she rarely did.Lynn had said to pick one person, probably a man, and to focus on him, to allow him to romance her – to draw her into The Circle. Who would she pick? There were thirteen men in The Circle. A few of them were even older than she was: Don, Alex, and maybe Nathan. A few were young enough to be her grown child: Kyle, Derek, and Kurt. The rest were only slightly younger.Tammy thought about how she was a 'nobody.' Others. I E-mailed her back with my ‘Doubt it’s Numchuck’s’ reply. But curiosity got the better of me and I called. Sandra said she was coming home and was a couple blocks away from the house when she saw a black Lab and thought it was Numchucks so she rolled down the window on the vehicle and yelled, ‘Numchucks, go home.’ She said the dog went straight to the house and up the porch and waited to be let in the door. She took a few pictures and sent them e-mail. I was in total disbelief. The dog looked. The girl, whose name I later learned was Rose, glanced over her shoulder at me. Her brown eyes shone from under her long eyelashes and her smile conveyed both excitement and contentment. I guessed, correctly, that she was in the throes of MDMA-induced bliss, like so many others in this place. Hell, I would have been too if my company didn’t piss test regularly.I mouthed “I’m sorry” as her gaze lingered. She smiled sweetly and waved it off. Then she faced forward again. I thought she was going.
