" People were coming in and out of the diner. Mostly older folks who didn't have much interest in the younger couple. Shay had worn a turtle neck swea...ter, thinking that flashing her necklace would be in bad taste. She assured Kent that she was wearing it and would as often as possible. When a young couple came in with a baby, Shay leaned over and said,"Oh my god, that girl was in my class a couple years ago." The couple were now staring at Shay and Kent. Soon more younger people arrived."I feel. . drugs, booze and... sex?" I repeated like a good parrot hoping he'd chuck me a cracker. "Got it in one, you're smarter than you look," he said smiling disarmingly."Sooo....? What do you have a giant distillery in here somewhere? a crack lab?"

She presented one delicate limp hand in its snowy prison."Uh," Phil grunted. Trembling, he grasped the tip of her forefinger in hishand and attempted to pull but the kidskin was too slick for his grip."You gotta hold on tight, sugah, if'n you don't want to fall off."He tried again. I can't really hurt her if I grip harder, he reasoned,.
