Let me introduce you to Shepherd."Elisabeth turned around but he was nowhere in sight. Somehow this didn't surprise her."It's time to go home," she sa...d, leading Emily by the hand towards the woods.Shepherd watched the pair from the shelter of the hut. As they neared the trees, they shimmered and within a few steps they'd faded completely from sight.Emily awoke and sat up. She looked down at her body and was relieved to find herself intact. Further investigation revealed that the scar along her. Very BAD," Molly teased as she headed for the pile of firewood.Josh headed outside to open up the shutters that protected the cabin's windows. The wispy snow flurries from a few minutes earlier had grown to large clumps of flakes dropping from the sky. Josh decided he had chosen wisely that afternoon to knock off hiking early. It looked like they might get a good snow storm that evening.Molly had a small fire of tinder and kindling going when Josh returned inside. She was feeding larger pieces. "Are you okay?" Jenny asked sounding worried."It's perfect!" I said as I burst into tears. "Trust you to find a wayfor me to start accepting this," I said as I blubbed through thewaterworks.We sat there cuddling for what seemed hours when Jenny piped up."Anyway, let's get this mess of a mop sorted out."I sat on the floor with my head between Jenny's legs as she startedbrushing out my tangles. That was when Mum walked in with a couple ofcokes."Looks like you've got your hands full there Jenny,". Her faced was flushed and she was laughing with the men when she saw me standing at the top of the stairs."Oh there you are Bart, we have been looking for you! Where have you been?" I had to take a call. Sorry about that," I replied as my anger eased .Linda was pretty tipsy when she came to me and gave me a long lingering kiss in front of Gary and his friend. "I got her back before midnight Bart," Gary said and introduced me to his friend Bill, a tall dude who was pretty shy, and didnt look me.
