was so bold, so direct. and at

her lips.

behind Tony, placing hand on
his shoulder. "Surprised?" she
drawled.
"Hello," said Tony. He intro
duced Ann to the girl-Eileen
Wallace-and her escort.

families who made lot of noise.
On one side, kids whooping aad

that. But on the other side a
man and his wife were always

devil, but I'll always love YOU"
NO." said Ann. "Rows are

They finished the celebration
by dancing. What matter if they
were part Of a motley crowd!
They were alone, Tony and Ann
clinging closely to each other
mvoing rhythmically, easily OF
the crowded floor.
