One of The Albanian’s many anonymous recruiters had seen the local television special from Ogden a little over four months ago and had immediately s...nt him a video copy. After watching the beautiful young girl perform, the old man’s interest had been piqued and after waiting a couple of months for local interest in the girl to cool down, he had diverted a nearby team to learn a little more about the young woman named Faith. What they’d reported and what the just-received video of the girl. What? What did you say?" I said I hear there's a girl staying down at that taxidermist's place, that friend you got, that freak with the crippled arm. I hear he's got a strange girl come to live with him and his teacher wife. I hear that you've been going down there a lot. What's up? You gettin' a little honey on yer stinger?"Graydon sat, staring, disbelieving. His mother looked down into her plate. Graydon set his fork down and moved his plate away. Words, any response, failed him. What could. The only way was for him to walk through a portal and lose his place in fae-dom and become mortal. And he faltered. I felt his hand drop mine and felt him step away from me even before he actually moved. And all I remember then, is the echo of the Veiled Judgment barring me from further Councils and issuing me warnings of how should their be repercussions of the union, the child would be stripped from me to be brought up as ‘al’ihan’, half mortals half faes who serve the faes till they reveal. I ended up taking her for drives around the lake; in fact it became our favorite place, for picnic's, watching the sun set, or just for a nice drive. There was this one spot, that was near a cove, it had a tree for shade,and we could watch the sun set, She was the first woman that I knew of, that could kiss for hours, and never get tired. Wow she and I made a kissing couple. When I got quiet she would ask me what cha thinkin,...she's an Okie too remember? She really brought me out of my shell;.
