But he didn't think he was ready to turn his back on her. |

He waved her into Maureen's room, and followed her in. 'Find something to wear,' he said. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
She pulled open a dresser drawer and lifted out a pair of black panties. She frowned at him. 'You don't gotta watch me, do you?' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Well, shoot.' She turned away from him, bent over and stepped into the panties. She drew them up beneath her robe, groaned and pulled them down again. 'These little things'll cut off my dang circulation.' |
|
|
|

'We're wasting time. Try the closet. Maybe she's got a coat or something.' |

Sandy entered the closet. She pulled a string to turn on the light bulb, then searched among the hanging clothes. 'Reckon this is a pretty big gal,' she said. 'Not as big as me, but she's tall, ain't she?' |

Shaking his head, he turned around. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'That's a sight better,' she said. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'You sure don't trust me very much.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'I'm just trying to keep alive.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Well, same here.' A few moments later, she said, 'OK, I'm decent now.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
