."She stood, arms wide, eyes empty.Lucian felt a force pulling him out of the chair, up to his feet and onto the woman. A force from outside it seemed... beyond his will. It madehim want to embrace her. But Kurtz fought him, muttering "no, no..."Her fists punched his chest.He felt awkward, not knowing what to do, but not knowing how to stopeither. So he closed her into his arms, hugging as he felt his own tearsruin his make up.They stood and cried for minutes.Dr. Kurtz's resistance melted, her. "{Sigh}," from Julia. "Wake Ava with a kiss, Mark. Start her day nicely." Wouldn't my kissing her awake AND her going to Rodeo Drive be too much pleasure for any girl to handle in one day?" Haha. I'm sure she'll enjoy trying to manage."Julia moved to give me easier access to Ava, so I leaned over to kiss her awake.When she was, I broke the kiss, "Good morning, Ava. Welcome to Shopping Day!" YAY! I'm looking forward to that!" One thing I'm sure of is that you're a female, so of course you are.". She said she didn't want us to be sneaking around. But I had noticed that, so far, Emily hadn't been exactly broadcasting her weekend whereabouts back to the home folks.So, OK. There were lots of things I'd rather do than go meet Mr. and Mrs. Shreve, but if that's what Emmy wanted, I'd do it. I'd do it as soon as the season was over -- the first week in September. OK -- as soon as the playoffs were over, second or third week in September.Somewhere in there. I'd meet them.Not now. Too much going. We got home and I helped them bring all the stuff into their house and I could see that things were bad but did not say anything. I said okay need anything else let me know and the girls came over and thanked me and gave me a hug and then went back to checking out all the food they had. The mom came over and said thanks a lot I really appreciate the help and gave me a hug also. She stopped and then whispered into my ear and said I will be over shortly and pay you back I want to see that outfit.
