The dance was this coming Friday and next week was spring break. I was more excited about spending a week with Dennis and gave no thought at all to th...e dance, other than to watch the mating rituals that seemed to swirl around me.“Who are you taking?” Bev asked when she sat down next to me at lunch. One big change from back in Texas was that John and Lucy had paid for the lunch program at school, so I was munching on a burger and fries.“Taking where?” I asked around a mouth full of burger.“Duh!. Tanya looked by the bed and there were two suitcases with her name on it, she never had suitcases so that was a bit odd. She ran to open them, being naive to what she would expect – of course it was pre-chosen clothes.

The room was full of the usual grooming products and make up. On the desk was a letter which Tanya ran up to. .”“You could get a good LED screen and a DVD player with hi-fi speakers and watch symphony, ballet and opera performances. You wouldn’t even need an external connexion.”“That’s not a bad idea.”“Let us get it for you as a house-warming gift.”“Let me think it over.”One morning at the very end of November Patrick called. “Sarah’s back!”“How is she?”“She seems fine. So’s Henry. They appear to have gotten civilly married, too. As she’d rented the flat for a year, they put everything into it as a. She'd wanted so much to be accepted by the other women in the office and had been surprised when Sabrina had asked her along on this trip."That's right," Carol Peters, a tall, slim black girl of twenty-four agreed. "We should've asked you long ago."The two remaining members of the group, Maria Ramirez and Brandy O'Conner added their agreement as well.Two or three weekends a summer, Sabrina would borrow her parent's cabin up by Spring Lake and invite a few select friends for a get away from it.
