I slept in late the next morning, getting up about nine o’clock. Ashley was in the kitchen, grading papers, drinking a cup of coffee. I poured a cup...of coffee and joined her at the table. She asked how my evening had been, I recalled the details to her, although it was really bland to say the least. I picked Courtney up that evening and we went to the seven o’clock show at the local theatre. She looked really good, she had on a short jean skirt, a white sweater and suede brown boots. I could. When it was over, Lara snagged her arm. "Come on, let's go." "What? What are you doing?" Ryan tried to get her arm back but Lara wouldn't let go. "We're going to find a place to sit and talk." "Why?" Ryan almost had to run to keep up with her friend. "What's got you so pissed off?" Lara all but dragged her into a restaurant. They found a booth in the back and were quiet while waiting for a server. Lara ordered iced teas and sandwiches for them. Ryan, not sure how to read her friend's mood, said. Alan said sorry that was inappropriate hope you’re not offended? He assured him he wasn't and said can I ask you a question? Ye what is it? When we composed ourselves did you see Sue’s top? There was silence for a few seconds as I looked in horror at what he asked, and then there was a hesitated reply he said he couldn't help it as he could see one of her nipples and noticed a lot of leg. Dave just laughed and said Sue only noticed when she went to freshen up. Anyway we will meet you at 7 at. It still hurt if you allowed yourself to dwell on it, and you kept yourself emotionally distant from her and everyone else in town as a result. Noelle was the only one you could trust.If it weren't for her, you'd have left town a long time ago. Even if you stayed long enough to graduate, you would have taken your chances leaving town even if the only thing you took were the clothes on your back. Kathy might have believed you were starting to forgive her when you accepted her job offer, in.
