He had been nervous about coming back to the farm after his vacation, not knowing how he would be received; how he would be expected to act. S. government was in shambles.

Suddenly they didn't seem like such a big deal."Can you turn that down, St... Kristy?" I heard a feminine voice say.I looked over. Keep an eye out for me!’ I winked, my lipstick messed up.
