                                 Chapter 14

   Ann Arbor, December 2004 CE

   âYouâre right, it is a nice city,â she said, as I pulled us into the
   parking structure a block or so from the restaurant.

   Yeah, downtown Ann Arbor was beautiful, especially since it was
   Christmastime. The city had put up soft white lights to decorate its
   many trees, which added a nice ambiance to the late dusk. Weâd been
   working a lot on the book project, and it was nice to step out and
   relax a bit. As we got out of the car, she stuck her left hand, which
   was wrapped in a brace that looked almost like a cast, into her jacket
   pocket. The hand had grown significantly, but it was still very, very
   thin and weak. As I walked around the back of the car I saw her dither
   a bit, thinking about leaving her walking stick behind. Finally she
   sighed and leaned on it as she closed the door.

   We walked down the street to the restaurant Iâd chosen, a
   micro-brewery called the Maple Tree Inn. As we got near it, I noticed
   a willowy blonde in leather walking up the street toward us. As she
   glided past, I noticed she was sporting a streak of green in her hair,
   and had several ear piercings. As I turned my head back to watch where
   we were going, I noticed Zsallia looking at me. She chuckled softly.

   âPretty, isnât she?â she asked.

   âYeah I suppose. Sheâs a little young for me, and I donât know how I
   feel about all the earrings. I kinda like the hair though.â

   âDo you know what makes a woman beautiful?â she asked, as I opened the
   restaurant door for her.

   âI must admit I donât,â I said.

   âI can tell you,â she replied.
