A small smile plays across Gwen's lips as she watches the struggle pass over keri's face.  The results had been a foregone conclusion, but it was still fun to watch.  There was just too much stacked against the woman, too many forces building up inside her.  She sees the once proud woman crumble bit by bit, going to a more basic state.  She looks down at maddie, giving her head one last caress, then nodding towards the older woman.<br/><br/>"madore, go help keri with her dress.  It seems she has found herself at last.  When you are done, take her by the hand and show her the house."<br/><br/>With a satisfied eyes Gwen watches the pair of them, finally working together towards a common goal.  She takes a moment to appreciate the flesh of the older woman as it is revealed.  She has age on her, there is no doubt.  But she has worked hard to fight off the years, and to keep herself fit for her new Melissa.  Something Gwen is sure she will appreciate when the time is right.<br/><br/>~
