from then on paco visited me twice , sometimes even three times a day , and not only during the day , when he couldnt sleep , then in the early hours of the morning as well , most of the time just sitting there cradling my head in his fingertips , and freyja , along with most other people could see my relaxation improving , and then the inevitable happened , a family crisis and paco had to go away for three days , so freyja , that great disbeliever , asked if she could help by standing in for him .
