The other couple had cast their masks off and I knew both of them. They didn’t pay any attention to us, as far as I knew then, but I had a hard time... looking our ambassador in the eye in the next few weeks. Until one afternoon he stopped me in the hall and smiled. “Good work, Michael,” he said, and he winked. I’m serious, he winked. I managed a “Yessir” and my own smile and continued on down the hall.The funny thing? The ambassador had been screwing his own wife. I’d thought there was a rule. ”Mary became serious. “That one? I’m worried about her, very worried. So are a few of the other nurses. She’s a lovely girl, but she’s being bashed about by her boyfriend, if that’s what you’d call him. Comes in with black eyes covered up with makeup, bruises on her arms, I’m afraid she’ll be badly injured. She’s not well off, and I don’t think she’s got anywhere else to go. I’d take her in, but we’ve not enough room in our small flat.”“How old?”“Twenty? Twenty One? Something like that. Shame,. IM Steven 6'2 blond hair and blue eyes. I lived in NY for 14yrs. I couldn't take living with my parents and 2 brothers and sister so I move to my aunts house in NJ. I started high school the same yr. I moved to my aunts. As soon as I got into the school I saw the hottest and perfect girl. I had to say hI to her but the bell rang and later I found out she has a b/f and my heart sank. anyway 3 months later I was walking home and all of a sudden I hear someone running I look behind me and there. I told her well you will be hanging out with me after class. Rina said that is different. When the instructor was looking at examples in the book Rina and I shared my book. Class was now over and we went to the library to study for only an hour. As I walked Rina back to her dorm, I asked Rina doesn’t it feel different being a minority on campus because the campus population was like 3000 Caucasians to 25 minority students. Rina said yes and most of the students in her classes or dorm don’t talk.
