Lee withdrew her arm so quickly
that the movement was almost vio-

her facc-hcr eyes Widened for n

memory that held more than a lit

weeks she had very deliberately

Jason Smithers, she told herself
that the thing was preposterous,

hugging her thin knees, watching
Lee. Then she sighed, shrugged
and got to her feet.

There aren't so many brilliant

She paused to tilt her head side
