Valerie leaned back beside Mark,
and looked out on the world. She
supposed she was the same girl she
had been six months ago. Three
months ago. Even six weeks ago.
She looked up at hied, saw that he
was lookingeback at her and that he
was settling.

supposed she was the same girl she
had been six months ago. Three
months ago. Even six weeks ago.
She looked up at hied, saw that he
was lookingeback at her and that he
was settling.
