Chapter 52

The candles had burned down several inches but the glow in the room was steady and warm. Rhya roused herself and stretched her own neck muscles. It had taken a long time to massage the anxiety out of Jayanta’s shoulders and back. She had had to mind-enter every muscle and mind-massage the molecules individually before they lost their rigidity and became supple again. It was a very long and arduous task. Before she completed it, Jayanta had been asleep.

Rhya had allowed herself to slip into a re-energizing meditation. Now she roused herself but could still feel a lot of tension in her neck muscles.

Rising, she took a soft blanket from the shelf and gently spread it over Jayanta’s naked body. Jayanta was lying face down on the mat, her head turned to the right, partially covered by her hand. Rhya could hear her breath flowing easily in and out.
