" Maria, Julie and I went to look for our phones. Maria said not mine. Julie said I have some messages, pushed her off button, and then threw the phon... back down. My phone had the "one missed call" displayed. I recognized Sherry's cell phone number. The voice mail indicator was flashing so I pushed the call button, then entered the password.Sherry's voice began, "Steve, I'm sorry for taking off on you.

I have seen your photo in the paper a lot recently." I know who you are Kate, but its been a long time, and now you are a very pretty grown up young lady."Suddenly Kate flopped down on the hay beside him "I'm sorry I thought I could get home before the rain, but I got caught. I tried a shortcut across.
