What in the hell was that I thought as I closed my eyes. Looking back at the young woman I could suddenly see that her injuries were of magic. Then ju...t as suddenly I knew that I could heal her though I knew it would be very painful.What the hell should I do? Suddenly I had a small flood of memories come to me. The people of this village did not know or trust magic. Great, here I could help her, and their superstitions kept me from it. I also knew that there were a few magic users here, had she. I had never snapped at her before,indeed, I suspected nobody had ever snapped at her since becoming ajudge. She must have realised that she had finally crossed someindiscernible line and she just studied me silently. I let her stare fora few moments then stepped past her to sit at my vanity and repair mymakeup. She stepped onto the landing and I heard her talking on hermobile. Judging by the terms of endearment, I presumed it was hererstwhile lover. Later she rejoined me in the kitchen. " Yes, Ma'am," Lexi replied turning to the sidebar and letting her had slip from Mr. Jones' grip.Mr. Jones was sitting on one end of the sofa, Georgia on the other when Lexi turned from the bar with his wine. She walked the few paces to where he was watching his face as his eyes took in her body. His hand caressed hers as he took the wineglass from her, before he took a sip."Turn around for me child," he said softly. His left hand reached out to rest on her right hip as she completed the turn,. She had admitted to knowing about them as kids. Maybe she even fantasized about being with them. And last but not least, did her mother just admit to playing with the dog.Ann was just as nervous. She felt very uncomfortable having this conversation with her mother. It had taken a turn that was unexpected. Anna thought her mother would be furious."No mom, I never did. Mom, do you think this is OK? I talked to Julie; she loves the way Aaron makes her feel. She isn't going to have kids with him;.
