"We must be neighbors or something," he said as a way to strike up the conversation."Looks like it," she agreed. "You live in Post?" No, Summit, right...next door."She laughed. "Then i guess we are."He clamped the six pack under his left arm and extended his right hand. "I'm Gary."She shook it politely, liking the strength she felt in his grip. "I'm Rachel." I have to admit, I really look forward to bumping into you here. It's the highlight of my day."She blushed prettily. "No offense, but you. If that were to happen, I would have to take care to protect her reputation.I should not have worried about scandal. The townspeople had little regard for the brothers Maraj.

Thanks. But I've been told I have to keep looking for someone," she said as she stepped up on a foot hold, then grabbed and rotated the right blade into position with loud click.

How did that happen?"Bev sent me the whole story of Karen's adventures, including the fact that Karen had sent it to Bev."Darn it, Bev, it's my story. I wanted to tell it," Karen frowned for a moment, then cracked up, soon to be joined by Bev.When they settled down, I said, "So, have you figured out what you're going to do in this brave, new world we've found ourselves in?" I think.
