"Hi. I'm glad to be home. We wereout later last night and I feel a bit fragile still. How are you?" I'm great thank you and delighted to see you. ... have missed you." Wehugged and kissed."I need to get some tea and some food before I will feel right. Then Iwant to take you to bed. I need sex very badly but I may not be myusual energetic self as I am shattered." That all sounds good to me," I replied."Have you been practising in the boots? I thought that you might bewearing them but of. " And I love you too, Jeff. How could I not love such a brave, strong, handsome boy like you?"Jeff just smiled, enjoying the attention. Right now he felt that he wouldn't mind the dizziness all the time if it meant that they could lie together, mostly naked, like this."Oh, but a boy in your condition shouldn't be wearing any constricting clothes that might hamper your breathing," she said, and Jeff suddenly realized what she meant. Her hands slid down his chest, past his stomach, and right to. Into the barn, feeling the three-inch heels of myshiny leather shoes pressing into the soft ground. In its warm, dark,earthy-smelling interior, I saw horses, a goat, and even two llamas, butnothing at all that looked like what Elise Bentley had described as herhusband husband's current state. Carefully, I made my way out the farentrance of the Barn, towards the shaded animal pens.Almost a dozen caged dogs immediately set up a din of noisy barking,freezing me in my tracks. DAMN, I thought, if. I demand to speak with his doctor. However, a regimental officer tells me that is all the information available then orders me to be silent.I snap at Grr, "Sense him, now!"Grr replies calmly, "He lives, and you know that I will tell you if his life aura dims into nothingness."Furiously, I begin to think of ways to make her answer my questions. It frustrates me that I cannot confront the medical people face-to-face. So that I could force them into giving me information about Sam's condition. Grr.
