me. But then I took me a bath and now I'm OK.' |

He stared at her, confused. 'What do you mean?' |

'Well, it passed. You know? I just went real wild when the rain got me. I was out for a walk and the rain got me and I just run around wild for a spell. I just didn't know what to do with myself. Then I got my hands on a hatchet out in a tool shed and I busted in here. I gotta tell you, I was all hot to bust some heads. I ain't in here but a few minutes, and you called up. You said you'd come on over, so I figured I'd knock your brains out.' She frowned at Trev. She nibbled her lower lip. 'I'm right sorry about that. But it was like I had a hoodoo on me? I wanted to bust your head something fierce.' |

|
'But not now?' Trev asked. |

'Not after I got clean. I stripped down and took me a hot shower. You know? The rain out there, it felt so darn good. But I didn't want to go outside, what with you coming over. So I figured the next best thing'd be a hot shower. But it didn't feel the same, at all. And before I know it, I don't feel like bashing heads no more.' |

|
|

|
'Well, it's like I said. All that wild feeling just leaked right out of me. All I felt then was scared. So I come in here and hid.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There's nobody else in the house?' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'I sure don't think so. I ain't seen anybody but you.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Let's have a look. You go first.' |
|
|

He followed her out of the room. |
|

|
'What's your name?' he asked. |
