"Victoria..."

"Oh, Irene..."

"You came back... I never thought..."

"I've missed you so much... I've always loved you..."

"Is it still snowing outside?... Come here, I'll warm you up..."

"I remember these... I've always liked these... only girl I ever knew who slept in a tent..."

"Kiss me... please..."

"Mmmm... do you remember the first time we did it in this bed?... mmm.... You kiss even better now than you did then...mmm... not...mmm... that it wasn't... mmm... great then...mmm... toommmmm....."

"It's warm in here... let me take off your fur coat..."

"Ow... Irene... I know I kiss good but it's not that good... quit pulling on my chest hair..."

"Oh, all right then, leave it on... it does feel... stimulating..."

"That's better... ooh... hey, I'm ticklish there... mmm..."

"Irene, what in the world...."

Their eyes met, then traveled downward to their hands, which were still in the places they'd been when they'd so abruptly awoken. Both men froze for several full seconds, then, at the same instant, snatched their hands away as though they had been burned. Ray rolled off of his friend faster than he'd ever known he could move, and they lay side by side, staring up at the ceiling. They spoke simultaneously.

"Oh dear."
