Sally still felt she would rather
have STAYED with the boys, but
nerhaps they thought girl would
only be in the way IN getting
Corey's car back in shape. She
still felt disappointed that the
evening had to turn out this way
Though she told herself they were
mcky-thanks to Dan-to have 1t
turn out as well Us it had.
Sally was not to realize until
long afterwards how the whole
course of her life might have been
altered by that narrow escape.
How the change in plans was 10
affect her. She was not to con-
meet what was to happen with the
fact that she went on to the shore
dinner and Dan went back with
Corey.
OF course Sally could not enjoy
her dinner nearly so much as she
would have had Dan been there
TO enjoy it with her. She seemed

worked up from her swim. Maybe

with the never-ending wash of
waves against the shore, that
shushing, rhythmic sound with its

the boys leased, seeing her sitting

Sal. Your. sweetheart will get
here eventually"
''You mean her two sweeties-p
Fudge corrected, with his knowing
grin. Have You made up your
mind which one it'll be, Sally?
Why don't you toss coin? Tails
for Dan, heads for Corey? Lucky
man wins"
"Don't tease her." one of the
Otnef girls fe9uked. you; know
Sally's so popular she alwaysa,haS

other boy put in.r. The orchestra
had taken its place on the plat
form stationed at the end of the
long terrace. Floodlights turned
the centered square, reserved for
dancing, into rosy radiance.
Come on, Sally, l claim the first
one. You ean't-sit and moon alone
al evening. That won't get you
anything"
No. it wouldn't, Sally knew that.
Yet she could not help this
strange feeling that seemed like
