god , i really hated working with people . happens for a while after the birth . i dont know why i didnt see it earlier . not that night , nor the next , but in the coming weeks winter descended upon the north woods complete with snow and wind and cold weather . it was ten a.m. and i felt well rested . she steps back to put distance between us , piercing me yet again . i wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my body to his , goose bumps breaking out all over my skin .
