One of the problems we were having in the four existing group homes was with the house parents getting burnt out and exhausted. We hadn't realized how...all consuming a task it was to raise six boys, seven day a week, without any breaks. When we did start to see tempers getting short and, in at least one case, marital problems, we acted right away to alleviate the problem.Sandy interviewed, hired, and trained two local couples, both with grown families of their own, to come to each of the homes. I wanted to know how you felt, it'd been a long time for me and I was a little uncertain. I didn't actually come out and ask him, but he sensed it when he was in my mind and he told me you were the same way. I think he thought it was funny, both of us wanting the same thing but being so timid about making the first move. That's what gave me the courage to barge in on you like that, and even so my heart was in my mouth. So anyhow, all that's why." Damned good reasons, if you ask me."She looked. There was an awkward silence as we both sat in our underwear not knowing how to start. As always with these silences we spoke at hte same time so I let her continue. She suggested we go to her room and we can see what we end up doing. I agreed and she led the way up to her room. I was really nervous about having sex with her seen as she is older, has had more sex than me and probably knows alot more.Once we got into her room we sat on the bed and she asked me what I wanted to do or what I would. There was some grain and corn he ate while Raven allowed her mind to travel. The days travel had gotten to her in many emotions. Being raised as a runner, was all she knew. Crossing the lines of time. Trying to capture information that the Council so eagerly wanted. Her brother had shared that the council was getting more, adamant. Something was up. Whispered in her ear just before dying to run and not come back this time. Ghost was rubbed down, full from the grains. His eyes went into sleep.
