ight. On Tuesday and Wednesday, I was there until two in the morning. I
was tired, I was grumpy, and I was _still_ afraid of Victoria. Victoria was
very gentle with me, letting me come home and collapse in peace. She'd give

was content to cuddle next to me as I slept. The distance between us had

eight hours, I took a break, completely frazzled. I left the building for a
walk to clear my head. While I was walking, I encountered a little
diversion. I saw an attractive young woman pounding on the window of a car.

help?" Yinling Joytoy wheeled, frightened, and clutched at a small canister of mace on
her key chain. I held up my hands defensively.
