.Or something close to love.Something very painful in any case.In the region of herheart.Fishing a handkerchief out of her pocket, Viv dabbed the cloth at first one and thenthe other eye. You didn t know you loved him?Muriel shook her head. Well, no.I stayed with him because he was so good in bed.He s the best lover I ve ever had, to be perfectly honest, and he s kind.And funny too.She sniffed, realizing that she was close to tears.This was ridiculous.Faeries weretough, faeries didn t cry.Faeries swapped partners the way that other folk swappedtheir underwear.Okay, better not to think of panties.Better to be practical and face thefacts.Her time with Elton was over.She needed to move on.If things were so simple, by the Deities, why was she crying?Accepting the slightly damp rag from Viv, Muriel wiped her eyes and pursed herlips.She was not going to cry any more.She had a job to do.51Mary HausenWith a shy smile, Viv reached out and touched Muriel s hand.Unused to a kindgesture from a girl of all things, Muriel suppressed the urge to pull away. Wecomplement one another, don t we?Complement? What did the child mean? I see love where there is none and you, you cannot see the love that is there.An uncomfortable silence stretched between them and, looking somewhatembarrassed, Viv let her hand fall from Muriel s. You re right, Muriel said at last, not wanting the maid to guess how accurate herwords had been. I confused love with great sex, never knowing that sex cannot begreat without love.The silly thing is that my partner knew.He knew that I loved him.He was trying to make me admit it. She let the air swell out of her lungs in the longestof sighs. And I think he loved me. Then you are truly gifted, for I have never known love at all. But your parents?Viv shrugged.Come to think of it, the old hag in the kitchen didn t look caring and if the fatherwas worse& Not completing the thought, Muriel nodded. I m sorry, truly I am.Butwhat made you choose Elwood of all the gorgeous beings in The Valley?Viv considered the question. In my dreams, the Fates told me I would find myTrue Love.Or rather, he would find me and I would know when we met.He would begood and kind and strong and big.That s what they said in my dream.And there s noone of that description around here.So when I heard all the good women at the markettalking about how great Elwood was, and they were always talking about him, well, Iwas convinced that he was my True Love. She sighed sadly. And I was convinced theFates had sent him to me, but I was wrong.Maybe I was wrong about everything.Muriel tried to cheer up the maid. Well, he does sing well and he s handsome. Strong too, Viv added. But selfish and definitely not big. Well, part of him seemed pretty big. Viv giggled.It took Muriel a second to realize the maid was talking about Elwood s cock and shetoo laughed.It was a bonding moment, perhaps the first between Muriel and a client.But their tinkling laughter attracted unwanted attention.The door to the barnopened and two bumbling youths came in.Before the eyes of their visitors could adjustto the darker light, Muriel shrank down to the size of a mosquito and hid behind thecow.She wasn t going to take any unnecessary chances. Viv? The taller of the two sturdy young men was speaking. Have you lost itcompletely? Why are you laughing?52Even Sex Faeries Get the Blues And you ve spilt the milk again.Ma s not going to be very happy. That was theyounger of the two, whose head was topped with hair the color of strawberries and afew freckles over the nose to complete the picture.Viv didn t let her brothers destroy her joy, but she did stop laughing. I was talkingto the faerie again.Redhead looked around and, seeing no fantastical beings, sniggered. Away withthe faeries, more like. Neglecting your work, said the other one, who had the misfortune to be endowedwith a nose that clearly resembled a turnip. There are still three cows to be milked andthe barn needs to be mucked out. Honestly, Viv, you re the laziest sister in the family. I m the only sister in the family, Viv retorted and Muriel gave her the thumbs upsign, although at her current size, the chance of her customer actually seeing the gesturewas remote.The chance that Viv would smack her brothers in the face for theirshameful bossiness and colossal laziness was far greater.To Muriel s surprise, Viv showed no sign of protest.Instead, her shoulders hunchedover, she sank her gaze to the filthy floor and muttered an apology.The boys, obviouslysatisfied that they had ruined Viv s happiness, slapped one another on the back andwalked back out into the sunshine.Fortunately they shut the door behind them and the two females were left alone. So those are your two brothers? Muriel asked after she had resumed a humansize.Viv nodded. Patrick and John.Patrick s the redhead.And John was the stupid one, Muriel added to herself. Well, you can be glad youhaven t got their looks. In fact, with her gentle looks and slim figure, Viv resembledneither of them, nor did she take after the woman in the kitchen.Perhaps she took afterher father? But why do you let them treat you so badly?Shrugging, Viv tucked her hanky up a sleeve [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
