When I wake up, I find that Loveth has stripped off all but her bra and panties and crawled under the covers with me. In a panic, I look at the clock and can see that Mom has been gone for almost four hours. She will be back anytime now. I don't know what she'll think if she finds us like this, but I don't want to find out the hard way, either.
As soon as I touch Loveth to wake her up, however, my fears vanish. Mom is stuck in the snow, by the feel of her switches, way up north, still with Tina and Nancy. She won't likely be home today. My touch is enough to wake, Loveth, and she gazes at me with a sleepy smile.
"Mom called and says the weather is too bad to drive back down, so she is staying with Tina and Nancy tonight."
When I don't look surprised, she says, "Oh, I guess you probably figured that out already, with your switches." Her brow wrinkles again with worry, and she looks deep into my eyes. "How are you feeling?"
