"Is Justin here, too?" I asked.She smiled. "Yes, he's running around here somewhere," she confirmed. "I know he's looking forward to seeing you." I'll...look for him," I said. Kay and I continued down the receiving line, until, finally, we reached the end. We wandered around, looking for our table. We found it, over close by the speakers. Since we were the first ones from our table to arrive, we chose seats that faced the head table and the dance floor."Would you like a Coke or something?" I. “Oh they are too large. I’ll send you another pair. Keep wearing that pair though until your new pair arrives and I’ll be in touch in a couple of days.” It suddenly dawned on me how erotic it was to be talking with this man over the telephone about pantyhose. When the second pair arrived I put them on and they fit much better. The man called and asked if I received them and how they fit. He inquired as to whether or not I had gotten a run, hole or snag in the first pair. I told him I had not. All the players here are the cream of the crop. So often I still can't believe I'm among them. But I am, and therefore I'm happy. It's great just to be here, to have this chance, even if I don't win."I've heard a lot of good things about Maenads," Reddick repeated herself. "It's not just my teammates who have told me. Several of my friends on the gymnastics and swim teams have been there too. And so have some of the archers I've met here, and rowers, and track stars." It's a great place to. I got off Boots and draped the reins across a small limb.Jenkins' horse was a lot better than he deserved and it hadn't moved, even when I shot. I picked up the body and slung it into the saddle, tying his hands and feet together under the horse's belly with a piggin' string.Just as I remounted Boots and started leading Jenkins' horse back toward the Colonel's ranch, Sarah and three of the hands came thundering down the road. I pulled up to wait.Of course there were dozens of questions and I.
