“The next night I walk in on Zane just coming out of the shower. He's wearing nothing but a towel knotted low around his waist. Beads of water slide down his tanned muscles, from his chest down to the fascinating ridges along his hips..

Don't worry, I handle it well. I scream "Ewww" and run from the room.

No, I really did. I walked into that room and saw the hottest, sexiest guy I've ever seen - wet and half naked. And I said, "Ewww."

I know. How am I still single, right?”

“She thought it was the color of her aura. At least that’s what she always said. Her and Auntie Waldine were always going on about things like that. Auras and chakras and astrological charts. I once asked them where church fit in with all their mystical practices, and they said God was an idea that meant different things to different people, but the bottom line was positivity and love. They didn’t see religion as being at odds with any of their other beliefs, since the point of all of it was to elevate the spirit.”
