I bought a nice pair of Radar X-Caliber combo skis and bindings, a Hyperlite life vest and Connelly ski gloves. I bought the vest and gloves that seem...d the most comfortable, but the skis I bought based on the salesman's recommendation. They weren't the most expensive pair they had, but they weren't cheap either.I had a full appreciation for the protection a wetsuit offered, even in a relatively benign climate and favorable conditions, never mind coming ashore at night under fire. The shop. And there was no argument.”“So, what did happen?”I shrugged, then stared ahead as we walked. Now was the time to serve up the story that Clarissa and I had worked out between us.

I insisted we leave early so I could actually spend some time with her. I wanted to give her the present I’d bought her.”“What did you get her?” She said, excitedly, before looking. ”Would she do it?

I knew that if I did, I would buckle. I watched her close her eyes and bring her left hand to her mouth. There, she rested the index finger of her left hand in the corner of her mouth.

Slowly, I watched her finger disappear into the flaps that concealed the opening.
