<em>Ethan looked at James in mild shock and annoyance.  Hadn't he just suggested James stay with Anna for awhile?  It seemed to him it would be a great deal more trouble for the two of them to move in with Anna, but if that was what it would take, he'd do it.<br/><br/>Images of Anna...just waking from sleep, getting ready for bed, coming out of the bath...inwardly Ethan cringed.  How could he remain sane if he subjected himself to that twenty-four seven?<br/><br/>He nodded to James. He would go outside with his friend, and see what James had in store for him.  He gave a last look at Anna, smiling at her and hoping she wouldn't be TOO mad at him for what he said, then let the door close softly behind him, and waited in the hall for James to join him.</em>
