Pulling Elizabeth to me I kissed her, tasting Louise's fluids on her face. Louise then pulled both of us down by her and began kissing us both. With l...ving words and gentle touches we renewed our commitment to each other. The last week had been rough, but I think our marriage is the stronger for getting the doubts resolved.September 13, 1847We have begun pulling the wagons on to the rafts and launching them. The wagons have had the wheels removed and being placed on logs that are tied down to. ‘Would you like a little nightcap before we go up?’ Matt asked. Kris had drunk some wine at dinner. Not too much though but it usually relaxed her. It didn’t this time so maybe something stronger might. Anything to take the edge off. ‘Sure,’ she replied. They entered the hotel’s lounge and were seated in a booth towards the back. Matt ordered a beer and Kris asked for a Coke. She decided she didn’t need any more alcohol for tonight. She wanted to fully aware of everything. She wanted the edge.. Of course I asked about the keys and she just laughed. "We'll discuss that later," she whispered. Moments later I was introduced to Teri, a tattoo artist friend of Cindy's. Cindy then held a drawing of a tattoo I had designed myself but had never had the nerve to get done. Cindy told me that the sketch was found in my stuff along with most of the other ideas she'd used on me. They were all fantasies I'd written down over the years and, suddenly, I understood everything about Cindy. The tattoo. Then trying still to make conversation he asked, "Is there some time you need to be back? For that matter, is back in town where you need to go/'"Doesn't matter. I don't need to be anywhere in particular at any particular time. Let's just ride and have fun."That sounded like a good idea to him. The car, the girl, the hot August day. Everything was combining to make this all seem like some kind of waking dream. A most pleasant dream. He was feeling like he was someone else entirely. The thought.
