Once again, a man had shat upon her.Once I glanced at the door and saw her face in the window, staring at me while I talked to a set of parents, but s...e moved on with no attempt at non-verbal communication.After my last conference was complete, I gathered my courage and went to her room.It was dark and empty.Hannah was gone when I got home. There was a note on the table.“I know you’re not in the mood. Call me after you talk to Phoebe.”She was right. I couldn’t have been in the mood if I hadn’t. Maybe it was important. I thought about it and then decided to take a chance and call Pearl, Ben's grandmother. I could ask her if she had any more information. That decided, I found her number and used my cell to call her. I wanted to keep the phone open in case the man called again.I reached Pearl at her home and talked with her for a few minutes. It was hard since we didn't have much in common and she and I had never formed a bond. Ben was her only concern and she didn't have much left for. ”“I agree,” said Sandy. “I’m on the pill!”“So do I,” said Carol. “So am I, Big Rann.”“I do too,” I said.Our food came, we ate in relative silence and we went back to the house, where the girls applied online to go to SFU. I would use every connection I can possibly find, to help Miss Steiner. We have a ‘Beauty’ singing rehearsal this afternoon, for the leads. I can’t believe I scheduled one during hell week, but it shouldn’t be too bad.We crashed to catch up on the sleep we lost last night,. . fancy some fun David?', my eyes bright with mischief. I stand and reach for his hand and he hesitates for the briefest moment, then his hand meets mine, he smiles and stands..I press my lips to his again.Looking back to see Adrian watching, I wink and then lead David out of the bar.Him: Watching from over the bar, I could see Katie's excitement levels rising.Her body language has always been so transparent, not to mention the other telltale signs.As she spoke to him, she was licking her.
