look seven feet tall, but sheтАЩs no more than five-four. Otherwise, she is as she
appears on the tube. Her hair is long, thick, and red. Her eyes are green. Her skin is
the color of ivory. Her lips are so full that she always seems to be pouting. I would
think she was beautiful even if I hadnтАЩt admired her for so long.

You are Christopher.

To Lydia IтАЩll be Christopher. But to myself I can be Willie.

You are Christopher.

тАЬI didnтАЩt believe it when Daniels called,тАЭ Lydia says. SheтАЩs still sobbing. тАЬI
thought he was mind fucking me like he usually does.тАЭ
