Sherrie had sat down on the black couch that Teo had led them too.  She leaned back sitting sort of sideways with her right leg over her left sitting up very straight.  She listened to everything that Teo had to say, she could tell that he cared about her very much, she had never had anyone express feelings about her before.<br/><br/>Sherrie caught herself playing with her fingers, why was she so nervous things were going just fine between them.<br/><br/>"Of course I wanted more, why wouldn't I.  You were wonderful that night, you treated me like a person.  I didn't want to loose that.  I was afraid that if you left in the morning I would loose you forever and that was when Carrie took over."<br/><br/>Sherrie could not remember what all was said in the car but as he talked about his sister she could understand how he was feeling. She felt helpless the help her sister as she stood on the dock.<br/><br/>"I can understand what you say about your sister." Sherrie looked down at her fingers that she was still twiddling.  "My sister and I were down by the lake at our house and she fell into the water and got her foot caught on something and I couldn't pull her up.  I couldn't swim back then so I had to watch helplessly while she drowned and I couldn't help her."<br/><br/>Sherrie was a little nervous telling him everything, "So she thinks I am weak and controls the situations she doesn't think I can handle.  She does have quite a temper." Sherrie laughed a little<br/><br/>Sherrie looked at his hand that he was offering and looked at her hands and she reached out and took his hand and she leaned down and kissed it.<br/><br/>"Thank you for giving me a chance.  I am working on keeping Carrie under control.  The doctors have me on new medications that seem to be working.  She is there, but I am more in control."
