." What do you mean?" asked Heidi quietly as her own emotions started to build."Well, Michel does not seem to like boy things. He only plays with girl... at school or at the park. He goes to bed with his teddy bear. His favourite toy is a doll! It makes Louis so angry. One day he took the doll away and his it. He told Michel that he was now big and big boys don't play with dolls." And, what happened?" asked Heidi sensing a familiar pain in her chest."It was awful. Michel cried so much.

There would be NO way she could get free alone!There was a sudden draught of cool air, as if a back door being opened. Did this. I wanted to tell her more but could not find words. I met her eyes and saw the simple joy inside them and concluded that I didn’t need to talk. I broke her gaze and looked out onto the frozen landscape beyond.

It was Mary, the Omega pledge that I had the disastrous dance with, and she looked scared. She was about five-foot eight-inches or so, on the thin side but with full breasts, blond hair, blue.
