~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The week couldn't go fast enough. I had spent a lot of money on an outfit, and as I stood outside the grand hall tha... Nathan had picked out for his reception, I was having doubts that I had bought the right one. "Well, don't you look good," a voice said from behind me. I turned and was in complete shock. Standing in front of me was Bethany in a long dark red dress. She looked absolutely amazing. "Stop staring," Bethany said. "Say something." "Fabulous," I. I was not comfortable being with Lacy and I don't think she found me any prize either."Did you kiss her goodnight?" Laura wanted to know with concern in her voice."I think so," I answered, wanting to end the conversation. I had no news about the house. I told her that I would wait for the call from Mr. Waite before going to the college to see if I could enroll for the fall semester."That's good," Laura sounded tired. I knew that my description of the date had disappointed her."I saw the car!" I. No one else had ever figured out how he managed to invade anyone's private space. If he answered her, he'd probably never get into her space again.Did he want to contact her? That was a good question. She was one of the good-guy users of the Master PC program. There were so few of them that it would be nice to be in contact with another. But if he contacted her, it was possible that she'd want to break off all contact with him.Well, that wouldn't be so terrible. He knew that she wasn't going to. She was early twenties, blonde with an average figure. This led to a short conversation before she took a letter out of her bag and started reading it. Once she had finished I couldn’t help but notice that she didn’t put the letter back in the envelope. Instead, rather strangely, she folded the envelope and put it in the ashtray on the same table.Almost straight away she got up and either went to the loo or the buffet bar. I was inquisitive and couldn’t help but pick up the envelope and it just.
