So during one function mom, myself aunt and her daughter we all decided to go together so mom called ravina aunt and asked her to get ready as we will...pick them and by around 8pm we reached aunts place she and her daughter both were ready as she came out I could not stop saying aunt “aunt you are looking dam sexy tonight” that was more then enough for her she blushed and said thanks and both sat in the car and went to the party, it was great party as everybody were enjoying dancing drinking so. . I was alone, sad, and very lost. I'd felt used up before, not ever knowing exactly how that felt. I was on a thin line. Depression and unbidden, dark, troublesome thoughts often entered my mind, thoughts that I had talked to my doctor about. She pushed for me to take some drugs for that... but I felt I needed to feel this pain... for a while at least. To make sure I remembered just what I had thrown away.It was a dangerous game I was playing with myself then. One that could end up with me. Along the way we picked up a couple, young people hitchhiking, natives of Scotland. The were hitching around Europe prior to getting married and staying in youth hostels. They were delightful and she had the greenest eyes I’d ever seen. I was utterly taken with her. She was entirely sweet and her fiance was a be speckled nerd like me. I thought how lucky he was and I teased Maria about it.We stopped in Aix for coffee, sat and shared travel stories. I wished we didn’t have to part with them. She even promised to come visit mid-summer. Amy said, ‘How can you not go? How can you not see what happens? Take the road less travelled, Betsy, take the chance! There is a life waiting for you away from Sanctuary.’ Betsy reluctantly agreed to go. So, she called her uncle while she still had the courage and committed to the summer job. Then, feeling as if she were being punished, she packed her bags and arranged to vacate her happy life for an entire summer. Even the plane trip was new to.
