She sat under the skylight for too long and then, knowing there was no sense putting it off, she made the call. Henry’s face appeared in the holosph...re with annoying promptness. “Well?” he said.“Annabelle was right. I thought I had it, but then…”“It all slipped away. That seems to be this young man’s MO. I wonder what kind of game he’s playing with us?”“I don’t think he’s the sort who plays games” said Miranda. “I actually think we’re doing a terrible thing to him, and he knows it.”“If he knows. "And how am I supposed to be holding it?" She asked in the most sincere voice a man could ever hear coming from someone so sexy and mysterious. I couldn't find the words. She had a very unique vibe about her that was attractive."Would you mind if I showed you?" No, not at all" She answered with a smirk.She was flirting with me but hell; I was flirting with her so it was a mutual thing at that point. She was feeling' me. Who wouldn't?I got up close on her, on her behind. She didn't say anything. She decided present herself to the Clergy and talk to the Grand Prophet about entering training for the Priesthood. She figured that she would wear her collar until the got to the Temple, then take it off after leaving the street. She figured that she could hide it in her bucket. Assuming the Priests welcomed her with open arms, she’d simply dispose of the collar, maybe by tossing it into the river. If anything went wrong, or the Senior Priest told her she’d have to wait before beginning her. They couldn’t save your baby. I’m so sorry.”She wanted to cry but couldn’t. Too much pain. The tears were rolling down her face. Monica also had her hand on top of mine. For this moment in time, we were a family again if only for now.We stayed for about an hour until the meds forced her into a restless sleep just as her parents arrived. I told Julia, her mom, what I knew. They couldn’t believe she had been shot. She kind of looked at me, accusingly, for a moment but realized she knew me well.
