But what I said - it justsort of came out as sometimes happens with me, was, "Hannah. Wow. Youlook great."She said, "Do you mind if I join you?"I sa...d, "Sure." And she brought her bag over and sat down.Now, maybe some people believe that things happen for a reason, but thatday there was some storm or something, and flights were delayed. So, weended up talking for a big chunk of the afternoon. We talked about allthe guys we had played with in college, and then everybody else we knewin. Liuz chuckled as he glanced at her. She sat cross-legged on the grass, dress bunched up a bit but not exposing her indecently. Not that she was old enough to have anything worth covering."Too much work," he said. "I am regretting not saving the ones from before." There was no place to put them," she grumbled, knife moving swiftly. "I asked." Nothing to do but keep at it."Having said that, Liuz glanced towards the river. It was wide. Far wider than the Warta. Slow moving, though. They'd have. I let her have the toilet first while I brushed my teeth and then we traded places. She spent a bit of time in front of a mirror with a hairbrush, presenting me with that shiny, fresh-scrubbed look that I just adored. We secured the place, loaded up our bags, and headed out the door, breakfast at a local diner the only thing between us and a road to a new adventure.And I wasn't surprised when I pulled into the parking lot and saw Alan's pickup there. We met him and Tina and Terri inside and sat. 'There was a moment's silence, before Helen said, 'We were going to try toget you in there without worrying you. We know you'll be fine, and we'llall be there to support you. But if you really don't want to go in, thenwe'll get a takeaway and take it back to the house. No hard feelings.'My heart was banging against my ribs; my breath was coming in shortpants; the adrenaline was coursing around my body; I felt like a sexywoman; if I turned around now, then not only would my relationship.
