Life starts to come back to me. The room is eerily quiet. I wiggle my toes and hands, at that moment realizing they are free. I'm naked and cold, leaving the blindfold on I curl up into a ball. A blanket is spread across my body, I feel the bed give. Tom's arms come around me.
"you OK?" His voice quiet and soothing
"Yeah" I'm still shaking inside but happy to hear his voice. He kisses the back of my neck and and we lie there for a while, spooning. I feel like I slept for hours, I'm awakened, groggy and confused.
"can you stand?" he whispers in my ear. I respond by slowly moving off the bed. I put my feet down on the cold floor. He is kneeling at my feet. putting socks on me and slides some comfy sweat pants up my calves. Tom helps me to stand and slides the pants all the way up.
"hold out your arms" a warm soft sweatshirt covers the rest of me. He wrapped his arm my shoulders and helps me walk. Still blindfoldeded he leads me back to the van. This time climbing in the back with me. He pulls me down, wraps his arms around me and we rest for the drive home.
we get back to the house, I can hear the driver get out of the van and leave the garage. The garage door closes and we are alone. He helps me up, back into the house. He stands in front of me and slides the blindfold off.
blinking a few times, I look around.
"I thought we were coming back to the house?"
he smiles........
but that is a story for a different time.

Very nice! A somewhat sudden ending to the series, in my mind...I think there could have been many more episodes. The open ending makes that somewhat possible, but I found the narrator having said "to the house" several times to actually confuse the fact that that's not where they went.
All in all, a very nice series!
