said it with a smile that made the word humorous.
‘In that case I’d better obey,’ she chuckled.
A few minutes’ drive brought them home. He saw her to her bedroom door.
‘Is there anything I can do for you?’
‘No, thank you. I have all I need.’
‘Go to bed, then.’
For a moment he seemed on the verge of kissing her, but he only opened the door and indicated for her to go in.
‘Goodnight,’ he said softly. ‘Sleep well.’
‘And you.’
She slipped inside and closed the door.
Now she could go to bed and try to come to terms with everything that was happening to her. It was hard because so many things in her mind seemed to direct her two ways. Some were troublesome, others suggested the hope of happiness if only she could understand many ideas. Still trying to get clear, she faded into sleep.

Even as she spoke, she gasped with the tremor of remembered sensation that possessed her.
Be strong, whispered the warning voice. Stay in control. You lost control that time and you’re paying for it. You know that.
‘Yes, I do. And I mustn’t—no—no!’

‘Ellie,’ he said hoarsely. ‘Ellie! Wake up!’
The sound of his voice startled her awake. Gradually her breathing slowed and the world came back into focus. She found that she was clinging to him.
