The helicopter landed, blowing cut grass and dust all over the people out front. Sharon got out of the helicopter, came over and hugged me. “I was d...wn at Troop B in Macon when the calls came in. You OK?”“Hi, Sharon. Yeah, we’re fine. I just wish this would stop.”Trooper Broderick, forever now known as Sally or another endearment, dropped her jaw to allow entry to any sundry number of bugs and fauna. “Broderick, thanks for helping take care of my boyfriend. What all happened here, and why the. To answer you directly, I have no idea who these two are, other than classmates of Freda on her law course. Does that satisfy you?”Hermione had gone red at the start of Reg’s speech, but now relented.“Thank you for letting us know, Reg. Do you wish us to vacate our spaces to allow for the visitors? We can eat with the others at the second sitting.”“An excellent response, Hermione. I have no idea, so please check with the twins about the seating arrangement.”As soon as one of the twins appeared. Momsmoothing a light coat of gloss over my lips, "just to give your face alittle color"...crouching down as Mom backed our car down the driveway,only to find that the media stakeout vanished after they fell for thestory that I fled to Japan...Mom's instructions to keep my kneestogether, my head high, and above all to smile: "your bestcamouflage"...Sarah's whispered words of encouragement as we walkedside by side into the crowded church...kneeling in my nylons andpraying in vain for God to give. I calmed myself as I left not wanting to cause a scene. I also realized that I needed to adjust the tent in my pants. Luckily everybody was already in the waiting area. When I saw Jaime the first thought that came to mind was to tell her, but something held me back, ‘Its not the right time,’ I said to myself. I said nothing only giving her a look telling her I was ready to go. We said goodbye and as we were leaving I saw Sarah emerge in the group, giving Jaime and me a tiny wave like she was.
