The burning subsided to a pleasant warmth. Ferguson released his nose and each breath Bartholomew took in made his head fuzzy, his body lighter. “You may release her, gentlemen,” Ferguson advised. The stable hands left. Bartholomew wanted to take some action, wasn’t sure what, but couldn’t. His body was relaxed, tingling and seemed to be almost floating; his head was filled with clouds.

"So would you like an introduction to the drag cleaning company?" Olivia asked after she called an Uber to take her home the next morning. "If I get a job, would I have to be like you?" "If you’re asking if you have to dress up, then the answer is in the name," she replied. "It’s not so bad. The pay’s good, the tips and rewards are better, and you could get to like it." "I’m not sure," I replied hesitantly. "I like the idea of more money obviously, but the rest…" "I may have taken to it...

As a final touch, Vickie took out a small perfume atomizer and sprayed me lightly. She left for a few minutes and then returned. “My, my, I do think that Obsession is the real you, Sweetie. It’ll drive the men wild...” I really didn’t want to hear that. It was bad enough to be dressed this way but to think that a man might... I dreaded seeing anyone that I knew.
