The next night, the three women stood again at the edge of the bed, where the president's spirit was slowly taking on form. Imogene's presence made Eliza a little uncomfortable, but she understood that the agent wanted to make sure their endeavour was crowned with success and the fact that Eliza had already tasted her pussy calmed her a little and made the situation less awkward. Helplessly, she looked from the glowing silhouette on the bed to Kathleen. "And how am I doing this now?" she asked.
"Just go to him and play along," the author replied in an encouraging voice.
"But he's not really here," the translator said doubtful. "He can't really feel me. And I can't either."
Kathleen put her hand on the arm of her assistant and caressed her lovingly. "He'll be there when he'll let you into his reality," she explained. "He's caught up in his own story, and if you play it out with him, then you'll become part of it, then you'll become his reality and have the power to end it. Us others here," she pointed at the maid and herself, "we're just extras. Spectators. For him, we're not there. For him, all that counts is what happened in that night, and you have the chance to lead him out of that. You, my love, are now the author of his fate."
Eliza nodded and swallowed heavily. All of this didn't make any sense, she thought. And then, it made much too much sense for such a crazy situation. Slowly she stripped off her gown and then stood all naked in the glow of candlelight at the edge of the bed.
"Are you the dove that'll make my Jerry happy today?" the lips of the president formed.
"Yes, it's me," Eliza answered whispering and slowly climbed up on the bed. "My name's Martha."
