The hypnotherapy session had begun. Once Ashley was under, Dr. Keller said, “Ashley, tell me about Jim Cleary.”
“I loved Jim. We were going to run away together and get married.” “Yes...?”
“At the graduation party, Jim asked me if I would go to his house with him, and I... I said no.
When he brought me home, my father was waiting up for us. He was furious. He told Jim to get out and stay out.
“What happened then?” “I decided to go to Jim. I packed a suitcase and I started toward his house.”
She hesitated. “Halfway to his house, I changed my mind and I went back home. I—”
Ashley’s expression started to change. She began to relax in her chair, and it was Toni sitting there.
“Like hell she did. She went to his house, Dockie.” When she reached Jim Cleary’s house, it was dark.
“My folks will be away for the weekend.” Ashley rang the doorbell. A few minutes later, Jim Cleary opened the door.
He was in his pajamas. “Ashley.” His face lit up in a grin. “You decided to come.”
He pulled her inside. “I came because I—” “I don’t care why you came. You’re here.”
He put his arms around her and kissed her. “How about a drink?” “No. Maybe some water.”
