"I wanted to talk about the feelings we had, because I was trying to both understand why my son had wanted me; and why that had turned me on and given...me those reciprocal incestuous desires which could never be fulfilled. Maybe in Heaven. Or perhaps..."My hotel room is around the corner."It was that easy. We arrived at his place with a bottle of bourbon from the corner store and a couple of joints from the janitor the bellhop put us in touch with. I was happy to light up a dobie, the youth. Unlike Jack's motivation for continuing with his wife'sexperiments, Audrey was desperate to retain her own youthrather than find any cure for skin disfigurements ordiseases.She invested heavily into her project and even spent twoyears in Borneo in search of new plants that would help herin her goal.However her studies took her in a totally differentdirection when by chance she was offered one of her formeruniversity student's equipment on the cheap, something todo with the university's denial. I turned my gaze back on the aforementioned female, and let my anger show."Were you speaking to us?" I asked in the coldest tone I had.Suddenly nervous, she nodded silently. I indicated the table I'd noticed with my eyes and said, "And that is your family?" Again, she indicated assent, obviously cowed."How dreadfully ironic. Return to them. Tell your lord I would like to speak to him, if he is of a mind to do so."She fled, obviously glad she'd somehow survived, and I saw her speak to the human. How did she know? If she knew, how long had she known? Why had she asked? Did she care? What about her? My mind raced with questions, not knowing how to respond. More than anything it was that smile that I remember more than anything. "Does it matter?" I asked, worried that our friendship could be shattered. I suppose it didn't matter what I said as it was out there now. "You're my best friend, I don't care. In fact it's rather sweet and sexy," Danni said, smiling again. More questions. Why was.
