    sleeping place. All the furnishings had been my parents and most of the pictures and ornaments were my mother's. I remained motionless, staring down the hall towards the kitchen at the far end. I could see my parents arguing and my father raising his hand to my mother. I could hear the shouting and swearing but they were not illusions, tricks my mind was playing, they were just memories, memories I wanted to erase but, for as long as I remained in this house, would be impossible to forget. “Karen?” I heard the soft voice behind me query, “Are you all right” I reached back and Jemima took my hand, squeezing it reassuringly and stroking it with her thumb and at that moment, a penny dropped. “It was you!” I exclaimed, turning to face her. “What was?” she frowned. “On the flight back. It was your hand I could feel on mine, soothing me!” She smiled. “Yes, it was but it didn't seem to do any good.” “Oh Jemima, on the contrary it helped my sanity immeasurably!” I exclaimed, “I just assumed it was Pamela but either way, just knowing there was someone there to help me gave the strength to fight..” “I did hope so, I really did,” she replied, “I didn't seem to help when you saw me sitting there though, did I?” “That wasn't your fault, Silly,” I chided her. “How were you to know that something so simple would upset me?

I have spent my whole adult life fighting and so have you.

At last I had found someone who wanted what I wanted, offering me a life, a new start and a way forwards. “Oh, yes, Jemima,” I whispered, “I do want you. More than I have ever wanted anyone...” She smiled and leaned towards me, pressing her soft, warm lips against mine. I responded eagerly, accepting her. It felt so natural and I dropped my case to the floor and wrapped my arms around her and kissed her like I had never kissed before, with real love.
