Auden’s Blessing
“Ina, I’m going out to have fun with them. I won’t be back before midnight. When Loki comes later, remember to enjoy your wonderful night.”
“Loki is coming?” one of her friends exclaimed. “I’ve heard Loki is very fierce in that department. Your friend really hit the jackpot.”
“Ina is still a virgin.”
“Oh no, poor Ina… she might die.”
Laughing and joking, they left.
I very much wanted to rush out and beg Xia to take me with her, but I couldn’t move. About five minutes after they left, the doorbell rang again. It must be Xia forgetting her keys. I threw down the equipment in my hands and hurried out to open the door.
