Page "romance" Paragraph 671

Chris was sound asleep, and I didn't see any sense in waking him.

I dressed in the kitchen, then left a note on the table telling him what had happened.

I drove off through the cool darkness to Nadine's apartment and rang the bell, and in a few seconds a young girl opened the door.

Her face was flushed from sleep.

`` It's all right '', I said, as she started to look scared.

`` Mrs. Roberts had called, and couldn't wake you.

I just came over to make sure everything was all right ''.
