As their passions rise, Ms. Snow bestows the gift of gold on Merry.

CHAPTER ONE

The Night Visitor

I am not so sure how long I stood in the snow. But gradually the fat flakes that were falling through the oak tree brought me to my senses. I seemed to have forgotten the rules for this whole friendship and anything else ship. It is an awkward place for a 40 something year old to be in.

Yes, me the eccentric extrovert who most people thought was pretty together is actually very unsure of herself often. I was even flustered about buying 'which' Christmas Gifts for 'what' person. No doubt about it, this was a serious problem that needed to be resolved. The holidays were already here, and I am floundering with decisions.

New people new friends and all the self-conscious things that I thought I had left in my teens have returned. Too many years of being with the same person had somehow blunted me. But hell I was more than ready. Too long alone without contact of people whom I could call family

I lit a pine scented candle just because I can, some apple cinnamon incense followed as my bath ran. Sweet senses for me. I thought it would be best if I left the clothes in the shower as they were so soaked. And I peeled my underwear off as the last to join the soaking pile. I love to wear pretty things under my clothes. Even if I have my old jeans and an awful plaid shirt I would have a bra that would accentuate my lovelies and a g string to match. One of my vices...

I eased myself into the steam and sank with a sigh. Angel's dancing eyes and warm smile filled my vision again. So beautiful in a very sexy intellectual way. Someone once asked me what it is that draws me to my lovers and I invariably say their minds. Yes -- sharp wit, clever with words and a solid sense of the Here, Now. I need this to balance me as I am a dreamer who needs to be grounded. And here
