There they were. Thetwo four-inch heeled shoes, right where I had left them. I raised mystockinged foot up, arched it just a bit and then angled my fo...t in theright heel. Standing in one heel, I then place my foot into the left.Standing tall now, an inch short of six feet, I took a step forward,seeing Rachel standing at the French doors leading to our patio. She hadtaken in my little show of slipping on the heels."Well Pat, that was a very well-orchestrated move slipping on yourheels. I would. I’ve stopped counting them all. It’s a small collection by comparison,” Solace answered with a hint of pride in her voice. “By comparison to whom? I’m still a cassette woman. But I’m gradually converting,” Rosanna said, running her fingers down the stacks. Solace stared transfixed. Rosanna had lovely hands. “Do you play an instrument? She asked softly. “I play a little piano,” Rosanna answered, stepping back. Solace felt slightly dismayed at this movement and the slight chill it produced.. At least that's all I am planning on doing."Paul shook his head and ordered another round for them both. "I really don't know how I get mixed up in these crazy adventures. I really don't." Oh, another thing," Mark added an afterthought, "then we'll take them to dinner." For God's sake, Mark..." Paul said in a very plaintive voice."I'll pick you up at noon. Coat and tie."When they arrived at the school, they discovered that parking spaces were at a premium. The closest spot Mark could find was. Some of the city had burned maybe ten years ago. It was also hot. Looking our maps, we could get to a beach easily but the damage included the airport. We landed but I'm not sure why. After the Humvee tour, no one cared about going outside. After a quick conversation by radio, we quickly decided to go on to Gibraltar in hopes that it would be in better shape.Landing was both easy and exciting. Gibraltar is a peninsula running north-south. The airport runs across it east-west and is just north.
