Wow! It has been a while hasn't it?  Ok, back in business...

So this chapter picks up with that 'just around the corner' that I mentioned in my last post. As Tink's mother is being suspiciously discreet, she has no idea that Tink is following her. And where she leads her is that 'whole new world.' Tink is stunned for a few reasons. First of all, she lived in that castle--back when, but had no idea this place existed...and secondly, just moments before, she realized that her mother was someone she really never knew, only now, when she thought there would be no more surprises, she came upon this woman in another light altogether. The only way for Tink to follow this woman was to avoid being seen; no worries there, Tink was prepared for situations such as this.

But as invincible as Tink seems at times, she was caught off-guard, and her mother did something that Tink accidentally, well, wrong place and all that--let's just say that Tink's mother found her. But what happened next was also somewhat unexpected, given the scene we just witnessed 'upstairs.' Tink was 'overpowered,' in a sense, and this is where we have our next sex scene. In the last blog, I mentioned that each sex scene was specifically created to depict a different emotion/behavior. This one is all about helplessness and control. Tink found herself in a crazy haze, and how this scene ends may surprise you.

Once that scene ended, there was a confrontation of sorts. And the outcome was interesting as Tink thought quickly and decided to use this situation to her advantage. The rest of that 'visit' went well for Tink; secrets and lies began to grow. But what this visit did for her was--it gave her insight to her past in a way she never expected, She learned more about her mother in that short visit than she ever knew, which she used to further herself and her abilities. She already knew she was not fond of her father, so, nothing new there. 

She did, still, have many questions about her life and the people in it. She wanted to feel whole, complete, and acquiring piece by piece of those proverbial 'puzzle pieces' of her life and putting them together, made her feel that she was on her way to understand who or what she was. Well, Tink was patient, and knew all would come together, as planned.

We end this chapter with Tink coming back to present day in her thoughts. And the thought of Derek, along with the deal she agreed to, disgusted her; at some point she fell asleep. But her sleep was brief, and she was awakened by Derek.

In chapter 8, we get into the 'meat' of this book; the plot, the excitement, the intense anxiety. This chapter lays down the foundation for so much. Action-packed is a good description, but the best chapters are yet to follow.

Until next time, dream on...
