“Glad to hear from me Mason?” There was an almost distinct hint of levity in her voice. I wasn’t sure why, but every time we spoke she sounded a...most happy. “I need to work Merlin. I’m not built to just sit here.” The long pause on the other end of the line told me, for whatever reason, that that wasn’t the answer she wanted to hear.“Well good news Mason,” she said, finally breaking her silence. “We have a job for you in Gloucester Mass.” I winced. Working in Massachusetts was the bane of my. You didn't talk. You never spoke to me on our first meetings when you were home., unless it was to tell me what you wanted.It's time for your bath,'you said, holding out your hand to me.I took your hand and stood up, letting you lead me to the bathroom. The bath had already been filled with warm water and bubble bath. I stood in front of you, as I knew I should. Gently, you lifted my dress up and over my head. Slowly you turned me around and, unclipped my bra. It fell off my shoulders and onto. Tommy had been one of the best, but he now was thirty-three years old. The Niner’s defense was getting tired. So, Chad used Tommy as a decoy, as he threw first to each of his split-ends, and then his tight-end. Next, he ran a draw, with Tommy’s job to block out the defensive end. They got two first downs, then ran out of steam and had to punt. The Niner’s received the ball on the ten. They ground out seven first downs. Then, they fumbled on the Giants twenty yard line. The Giants offence took. Perhaps we could tip back the deck chairs, side by side, to watch one of those supernovas and I’d slide onto his to better see where he was pointing.“Just to the left of where those three stars form a triangle,” maybe he’d say, as he steers me into my room and we sit on my bed to plan for tomorrow. I’d have not turned on the lights. Down here, pretending’s OK.Or what if he was Poncho Villa? Maybe un bandito secreto en la noche (if my dictionary’s correct). Jeanie no va a saber. Your mind can.
