”I signaled to Denise to tell the little girl to come over and Denise brought her over, towing the sophomore along.Denise said, “This is Kimberly ...ommer (the freshman) and Janice Braynton (the sophomore).”The boy said, “I’m Adam Winters, a freshie.”“Kimberly, why don’t you help Adam out of his clothes and he’ll help you. Take turns. It’s fun,” Denise said.They hesitated and looked away from each other. Little Kimberly looked at me with sad, doe eyes. I had a thought. An inspiration.“Let’s try.

Not thinking had gotten me. I know he's here, where ishe?"Her eyes went wide, as she tried to take her eyes off the silver stake andlook at the old man in the eyes. "Scott?" she asked waiting for therecognition in the old man's eyes, and when she got it. "He thought I wasa vampire?"

So sit tight. Love you.Grabbing the keys, she heads out the door. At the store, Clarissa grabs an assortment of fruit, some eggs, ham, cheese and Jewel’s favorite.
