Dad was sitting at his desk he had pulled up a chair, for me. He turned and smiled at me. “Come on sit down let’s make some money today”. Dad pu...hed a lot of keys, by the time he was done had deposited about 4 grand in his bank account, “and that’s how it’s done”. “Let’s watch the video again” he said as he clicked back on the one from the night before, and we watched it over. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. “I like this one the best Casey, how about you?” I thought for a bit. “Yeah Dad. No one was supposed to sulk or feel put upon. No one could hide from their friends if they thought something was wrong or off-kilter. They needed to confess their feelings and what they hoped would change in the situation.Alice and Dale taught the session and gave examples throughout. Some of what they presented was based on slides and material that Dave had assembled.One of the examples of a win-win regarding the Circle involved Alec and Taylor. Alec wanted Taylor as his exclusive love. She was standing in the shadows so I could not really see her. Shehesitated."Mabey this is not such a good idea." I could hear some fear in her voice."It's Ok Mel, I thinkI know what you have, come on out." Ok but if you laughI will die." You know I would never laugh" She stepped out and the picture wasamazing. The panties fit her like a second skin and the dildo sticking outlooked absolutly real. She stoped and i swung my legs over to sit on theedge of the bed. She was watching for my. Here, I stopped my story, the memory too vivid in my mind, I had only been ten when I buried my parents. Again she held me as I wept uncontrollably before she led me to my bed, covering me with my blanket. Her hands stroking my hair as I let the years of hidden grief come pouring out.When I woke, I found her fast asleep, lying on the floor beside my bed, she still had hold of my hand. Quietly, I rose, trying not to wake her but as I lay her arm across her body, I saw the dried salt on her skin.
