Lutamira, Science, DoriansKitten and Capella did the beta and many thanks to them.  Mistakes?  Mine still.  Minx DeLovely helped a lot and wrote this lovely poem just out of the blue because she’s like that!  Thanks to Amy for the banner.

Leaving her soul within its perfect form.
Indifferent to me, she will not warm.
And yet my home is she,
Alone together we must be.   -William Pratt-
