snow had melted. the ice in the

on fuzz of green, and the winter
coat had given way to tight little
belted jacket that meant spring

she could ride home with him, had

Then the cars separated and he was
lost ahead in the rain, cutting in

She hoped he would be careful. so
many accidents happened In the
rain. Probably she was too traffic
conscious, she told herself, from
