Sitting at the table beside the window, Amanda watched the sun play on a spoon. She touched the handle and watched it rock, causing the sun's reflection to dance on the curtains. Then she looked at Martin, who came toward her with something in his hands.
He set a cup of coffee and a small carton of creamer on the table. "There's a cup of coffee and some creamer." He paused and added, "Sorry, all I have is hazelnut."
Smiling, she thanked him, picked up the cup, and breathed in the steam. "Smells good."
"I only order the best."
Amanda picked up the creamer carton, examined it, opened the small lid, and sniffed. "You put this in your coffee?" she asked, her nose crinkling.
Martin nodded and laughed a little. "Yeah, I love it." Then he pushed his cup over to her and said, "Here, take a sip."
She looked at it, picked up the cup, sipped it, smiled, and took a larger gulp.
Martin could see that he was not getting his cup back, both by the way she was drinking it and the sly grin on her face as she did so.
"OK, I guess you like it, then."
They sat silently for a long time, drinking coffee and listening to what was happening in the house. Martin broke the silence first by asking the obvious question.
"Mandy, what happened? I am not complaining, but why are you here?"
She looked at him and smiled, then looked back at her coffee. "I felt pulled to the only person that I thought could help me, and then I woke up with you."
"Are you able to go back and forth, like before?"
Still staring at her coffee, she shook her head slightly, "I don't think so. I cannot feel or hear the other girls anymore." Then she looked at him, "You understand? We all had this connection to one another, we could see our thoughts, talk to one another, it was like that before. But now I cannot feel it."
Martin watched her as her focus drifted away from him, then back to her coffee. It felt like she had more she wanted to say, but he did not press her. She would talk more when she was ready.
"You need some clothes, don't you?"
She smiled, looked at the oversized shirt and boxers that Martin had loaned her, and nodded, "I suppose I will. Even if there are any clothes left in the house they would not fit in with your fashions today, I am sure."
Martin stood and walked over to his cell phone. He typed for a moment, then smiled at Amanda and said, "Let's see how this works out."
"What did you do?"
Setting his phone back down, he turned to his dresser and started putting on clothes. "I texted Tiffany and asked her to bring a couple of pairs of jeans and tops for you to try out now. She looked like she was about the same size as you."
Amanda looked around, then asked, "Jeans? Like the miners wear?"
"Oh... things have changed so much since you were around." He stepped closer and put his hand on her back, "Women, as you have seen already, wear slacks, tank tops, shorts, you name it."
She nodded, "I'm not sure."
"Listen, you will look more like an oddball if you wore your styles from your time than if you try to embrace the now."
She smiled, stood up, and hugged him. " OK, Marty. I will take your word for it and do this. Thank you."
Amanda's hug felt good; there was a warmth to her that he had not noticed before, and he could not help but feel a little stir in him at having her pressed against him, wearing only one of his shirts and still getting dressed.
Feeling his bulge growing, Amanda giggled, "Someone is waking up."
Looking down between them, Martin laughed, "Yeah, and I would love to let you take care of it, but Tiffany will be here any minute, and that is not something I want her to walk in on us doing."
Amanda winked at him and said, "Oh, why not."
"Mandy, she is like a sister to me. That would be..." He searched for the words, then settled on, "Embarassing."
Almost thirty minutes later, there was a quick knock on the door. Tiffany walked in and was surprised to see Amanda sitting at the table, looking at the tablet that Martin had given her.
"Hi Amanda, or should I say, Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great..."
Martin shook his head. " Okay, before it was not enough 'Greats'; now you're just being silly." He took the bag from her and walked over to Amanda.
Amanda smiled and said, "Amanda or Mandy is fine, Tiffany. Or should I call you Great..."
"OK, enough with the 'Greats' you two, you're both becoming a great pain in my ass."
Amanda and Tiffany laughed at him as he poured the things out of the bag and onto the bed. Tiffany had brought three pairs of jeans, two bras, two pairs of underwear, and three blouses.
Walking over to see what was on the bed, Amanda picked up one of the pairs of underwear and looked at it, "What is this?"
Tiffany blushed a little, "It's called a thong, I really did not have much else."
"And this is what ladies wear today?" Amanda asked herself, starting to blush.
"Uh huh." Martin and Tiffany both responded.
"Some women wear even less!" Tiffany added with a little laugh. "Do you want me to leave while you try them on?"
Amanda shrugged a little, "I don't care. I worked in a whore house, Tiffany, modesty is not something I had a lot of."
WIthout waiting, Amanda took off the boxers and slipped into the thong, and stood there a moment with a strange expression on her face, then wiggled her butt a little and looked at the both of them, "This feels strange."
"It will take a little getting used to, it did me!" Said Tiffany, laughing a little at the show Amanda was putting on.
Next Amanda picked up the bra and looked at it, "Is this for my breasts?"
Tiffany said "Yes, here, let me help you with it."
Tiffany helped her put it on and showed her how the clasps work: "This is what some of us call a 'front loader, 'meaning that the clasps are in front." Seeing that it was a little loose, she adjusted it, which only helped a little.
"It does not seem to hold me that well."
Martin interrupted, "Tiff, use my card and take Amanda on a little shopping spree, if you like. I want to go check some things out with the guys working on the last two rooms."
Tiffany looked at Amanda, "Hey, when the man paying the bills tells you to go out shopping, never say no." She handed Amanda the jeans and blouse, "Put these on and let's go."
Amanda put on the jeans, blouse, and shoes. Then she stood momentarily and said, "This all feels so strange, Tiffany." She looked for a mirror and asked, "Is there someplace I can look at myself?"
Looking around, Tiffany laughed, "This is a man's room, they don't keep mirrors, sweetie. But you look great, we just need to get you into clothes that fit better. You are about a size and a half smaller than me."
Hearing that, Amanda looked down at herself and then back at Tiffany, "Is that good?"
"Oh, yeah. You look great." Tiffany checked her pockets and added, "C'mon, let go."
Amanda looked back at Martin, who smiled. "You're in good hands. Have fun, and if you start to feel overwhelmed, let Tiff know, and she will let you take a break."
Amanda nodded, then followed Tiffany out the door.
As they walked through the house's back door, Tiffany was several feet ahead of Amanda when she realized that Amanda was no longer with her and looked back.
Amanda stood on the back deck, looking at the world and watching Tiffany return.
"Amanda, are you ok?"
Looking at Tiffany, Amanda nodded slowly. "Do you know how long it has been since I walked out here?" she said, more of a comment than a question. I see these strange machines on your roads, and the last time I was out here, there were carriages and horses."
Almost as if to punctuate her point, they heard the sound of a jet overhead. Both looked up at it as it passed thousands of feet above them. Then Amanda turned to watch a group of kids ride past on electric scooters.
"It's almost too much, Tiffany."
Reaching out and taking Amanda's hand, Tiffany reassured her, "Listen, if you are stuck here now, then this is your world too. You cannot live inside the rest of your..." She paused, trying to decide whether to finish the sentence, and then did: "The rest of your life."
Amanda smiled at Tiffany and said, "You are certainly right." Then she slowly descended the steps and followed Tiffany to her car.
"Is this your... carriage?" Amanda asked, looking at the small car.
Tiffany laughed, "It called a car, and yes, this is mine, but I should warn you that this probably goes much faster than anything you have ever experienced."
"Oh." Was her only response.
Tiffany showed her how to open the door, then, when Amanda took the seat, she showed her how to put on the seatbelt, explaining what it was and why it was necessary.
