There were real feelings here all of a sudden. Crap. I never intended to hurt her. ‘Kristel, I don’t think I have ever seen something about you I ...idn’t like. Especially now that you’re not wearing any clothes.’ She let out a laugh and I grinned at her. I kneeled down in front of her and took her hands in mine and said, ‘You are one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen, body, mind and soul. I know we haven’t ever been close but I’m hoping we can change that after tonight. Who knows, maybe. We can’t know if he’s going to be the same person when he makes it out the other side.”“Yes, we do,” Dervish chuckled. “Now you’re under-estimating him. Even if he has had a mental breakdown, I can honestly say the boy is stronger and tougher mentally than anyone I’ve ever seen or heard of. Will he be the same person after all the dust settles? Hell, no. The person he was would never have made it out here anyway. Neither would the Dervish who first shipped out nor the Octavia who got picked up.. "Stan and his wife joined us, introductions were made and then we proceeded to socialize. About half an hour after Marge and Stan joined us the band started playing "Louie, Louie" which, back when I was in school, was a line dance. Barney had no use for dances like that so when a line began to form at one end of the dance floor I got up to go join in. Barney and Marge were talking about something and Stan got up and said he would go with me and he got up and followed. I wondered how Barney was. Nearly 3 months have passed. My brother got admission in to an engineering college. It was December and he just completed his first mid examinations, at the same time, I have completed my first semester exams. That was the time we got Telangana bandh holidays for about a month. Feeling bored me and my friend went shopping. There I found a red night gown. It is sleeveless and would come only up to just above my knees. I felt wearing it would make my brother more impressive, and I bought it.After.
