.. dead?" Anderos said incredulously. "But you toldme..." That we moved into the city, yes. We, my uncle and I. My mother andfather... they didn't mak... it."Suddenly Anderos saw Mikal in new light. Sylvanas knew much too well whatit was like to lose everyone you cared for. Anderos' hand reached out forMikal's, and grabbed it gently. "It's okay. I'm not mad. I was just inpain. Didn't know what I was doing."Anderos had no idea how it happened, but suddenly he had pulled Mikalinto a tight embrace. “I have to find a way to meet girls,” she said out loud to herself one day. She decided she would get a membership for the community pool. Her plan was to go as often as possible and hopefully she would meet some girls. Sunday morning she grabbed her suit and headed for the pool. She didn’t expect to meet anyone right away but she thought maybe going at a quieter time there would be more solo swimmers. She paid for a summer membership at the front gate and entered the pool change-room/shower. The first bus came, and we immediately hopped on. Being prime time, it was heavily crowded. Initially, she stood in the front with all the ladies, and I went a bit back.But the ladies were all evil and wanted to punish this exhibitionist. They pushed her behind. Now, she was protected by several ladies standing in her front, but behind her were gangs of hungry men. All were waiting to make a move from the second she boarded the bus.Within the first brake itself, a guy was intentionally bumping. Beth said, "I know it’s still three weeks till our next appointment but how do you fancy a private massage at my house sometime in the next week?”I said, "How and why, what about Dave and Jules?”She explained that Dave was away on a stag week in Benidorm and Jules would not need to know unless I wanted her to.I thought long and hard for the next few hours and decided to be upfront with Joules and tell her that Beth had offered me an extra massage. Jules knew that Beth worked at the same parlour.
