From that day on, Gabriel didn’t hold back. Ah Lam gloried in their battles, thrilled at the growing strength of her body, the power of her practice. The only negative was Gabe’s occasional reaction to her. Brushing against her breast or pinning her breathlessly to the floor, sometimes he hesitated, straddling her hips a moment too long, then jumped to his feet, blushing. Ah Lam recognized but never acknowledged the signs of arousal he desperately tried to hide. She ignored them and ignored him. Looking at the beautiful boy with his strong muscular body and kind eyes, she forced down the incipient quivers low in her belly. She squashed them knowing they signaled experiences she would never allow.

When she was eighteen years old, Bai called her to his office. Motioning for her to sit across from him, his smile was pleasant. “Ah Lam, I have watched you for two years now. I am proud of you. You are bright, the brightest of the girls.” He added with a grin, “And, you are a hell of a fighter. You know I will always protect you. But you are a woman now. I will support you any way you wish. Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?”

Without hesitation, Ah Lam replied, “I want to study medicine. In New York City.”

Bai studied her for a moment. A knowing expression crossed his face. He selected a slender Bolivian cigar from the humidor on his desk. She watched as he meticulously trimmed it, cut the end. He puffed on it until it was drawing well, then blew the aromatic smoke in the air. Leaning back in his chair he gazed at her from half lidded eyes. He nodded. “I see. Then you shall.” He added, “Dr. Wong at the New York Infirmary for Women and Children is a friend of mine. The train leaves in two days.”
