The next morning, I woke up earlier than my wife. I had freshened up, put my hair in a messy high ponytail and then made us a pot of coffee. I sat on the couch, sipping from a cup. Waiting.

She eventually woke up and sauntered over to where I was sitting, "Last night was something magical. I didn't know we could do that"

"Mm-mmm, yes, it was great", I said, giving her a side ways glance. She was in her night wear, with bed head, hair tousled this way and that. She gave a yawn.

Some final notes

Games without Frontiers - Preview Part 3

Once we were tired of the horses, the girls wanted to cool off in the ranch’s pool.

At first, I was reluctant to join them, but Andrea said my mother had prepared for this possibility, and had packed me a girl’s swimsuit that had been modified for my special circumstances.

Once I tried it on, I had the confidence to join the girls in the pool, a confidence I managed to retain even when the boys joined us.

I just kept swimming, as the cartoon says.

She was afraid to come out in the open (bop-op-op-op)
And so a blanket around her she wore (bop-op-op-op)

And so she said, bundled upon the shore (bop-op-op-op)

CHAPTER 7
That marked a new period in our lives, as that uncertainty I had picked up on steadily became more evident. Caro, it turned out, was a classic case of imposter syndrome, amazingly well concealed. While she was absolutely realistic about the allure of her rear view, she was far less confident about her worth as a person. She was never completely open about her history, but I worked out that she had stumbled out of a number of relationships, and assumed that each break-up had been down to her failings. She covered it up amazingly well, but in the end, she was always running to a timetable in her affairs of the heart: get what she could before the other person got fed up with her.

9:00 AM

Marcia slept in a bit, but woke up to the smell of coffee. Lazily, she sat up and looked around the bedroom. Obviously, Darryl had gotten up a fair bit earlier than her. She distinctly remembered not caring overly much about where her t-shirt, shorts, and undergarments landed before she lay down, but now they were not on the floor, where logic said they must have landed when she and Darryl collaborated in their removal.

After a light lunch, the kids got to decide what they wanted to do first. The three girls all wanted to go to the barn and spend time with the horses, while the four boys wanted to play in the large sports field behind the main building.

Which left me alone in the cafeteria.

Andrea sat down beside me, and said, “I heard you gave yourself a new name when you spoke at the trail of your abuser.”

I nodded.

“Would you like us to call you by that name? It's all up to you.”
