"Another minute."Two guys jogged up, and halted by the fountain. One guy made a show ofgetting a drink; Paula knew it was an excuse to stop so they c...uld try totalk to the girls. She thought she recognized one of the guys from ahistory class at college."Nice day for running," the guy who wasn't drinking said casually."Yeah," Leslie answered. "It's okay." When we're not in class or in the labs," Paula added. "Senior projectsand labs take way too much time."The guy's eyebrows rose in. She smiled. I smiled."David?" Josh said. "You been hit by a thunderbolt?"I shook my head. "That girl over there. See how she's dressed."Josh shrugged. "Well, until you're going to hit on her, would you throwthe damn plastic? It's hot out here."I jolted myself back into the real world. I threw the Frisbee, and Joshmade a nice running catch. He always was a better athlete than me.

She watched as I set up a couple of tripods. "What are those?" These are slave flashes. I'm going to try to get the light soft." Won't three flashes be too much?" It's why I'm putting diffusers on them..." I took a light meter.
