"Krista dear, the sight of a naked sexy woman upsets most men; they get turned on, and the woman usually is not available sexually, as you would not be because Ches is Marta's man. The openness you are comfy with, they might not be. It's appropriate social behavior."

"I've been planning to escape a long time. That's why Chester and Marta rode seperate bikes today, so I could double on one. The actual plan was kind of nebulous; we were going to take it on the fly. The fact that you were free to come along was a remarkable bit of serendipity. And damn good luck for the both of us... or we'd never have found each other." I'd finished straightening out the bed, to remove the worst of the 'evidence'.

"About this revenge thing; please put all the facts together in order, if you can. I really am serious about this! As far as I am concerned, abusers are like murderer-rapists or such; they steal so much more than just a sexual favor. They take a mind, and that is worse than rape OR murder."

We had established the Doc was an ass, and a rapist, and an abuser. I needed the whole story about the son and the daughter... they we could make some plans on exactly what we wanted to do, and how we would do it.
