In the morning, they had breakfast with Arlene’s mother, who invited Jamie to spend the night again that night if she wanted; Arlene knew she wanted...someone else there with her daughter while she was away. Jamie looked shyly at Arlene and said, “I’d love to. If my parents say I can.” Arlene felt a wave of relief and said, “Yes, please! That was so much fun.” She soon went home, and the day passed slowly until she returned. Again they chatted with Arlene’s mom as she dressed, then did homework.

She sighed and took his hand not totally reluctant. He helped her up, trying to dodge all of the papers and led her into the middle of the classroom. He pushed all of the desks to the side, opening a space that was rather large considering the actual size of the classroom. He twirled her around and caught her, bringing him into his body. He much bigger than he appeared to be, his muscles were firm and warm wrapped around her. Her heartbeat pounded away the troubles that were eating her up.
