"Thank you for everything you're doing for me"---------------------------------------Rachel spent the morning emptying her old room with Steve and Che...sea'shelp, thanking God that her uncle and aunt were at work. She packed boxafter box of comic books, video games and his action figures. For eachone she filled, she felt a moment of pain remembering where and when shehad bought everything. The plots of her favorite stories passed throughher head as if she had read them the day before, yet. Kim wasn't focused, however, on seeing her family again the following week. She was spending a lot of her leisure time, evenings, on the telephone, talking to Roland Hidalgo. He wasn't always in Portland. He traveled a lot, apparently, on business. But, wherever he was on the road these days, he was staying in touch with Kimmy.It was like a high school romance. Kim was still all business during the day, at practice, and she was unstinting, spending long hours in preparation.But at night, the. When Rocky got home she packed for her sleep over. She put her new toy in the bag. She wanted to show CeCe it. When it was 7 she left for CeCe’s. CeCe had already popped some popcorn.. They went to put in a movie but the dvd player was broken. CeCe really wanted to watch this new movie. CeCe remembered that her cousin had left his laptop at her house the week before. They were going watch there movie on that. CeCe had gone into her mother’s room where the laptop was. She brought back to her. P. Lovecraft. Being ever-so-much a gentleman i let her take the book, I told her I would check it out after she had checked it back in. After that we parted ways, only to meet again the next day. I was reading "The Fall of the House of Usher" for about the 500th time when i noticed her peering at me from over the top of her book, "Dreams of Terror and Death", from across the room. We were in the center of a circular room, bookshelfs lining the walls, the center of the room held several round.
