"Just wanted to be sure you were here, Keith. Gotta take care of this girl of ours, you know." And he opened the door for Kendra.
"Yeah, Roy thanks for your help." Then Roy went back into the store.
"I didn't realize that you knew Roy Brown, Keith."
"Yeah, we graduated together from Lawton High--been friends since grade school."
Keith looked at Kendra as he started the car and as usual, he thought she looked radiant. She was wearing her pale blue, circular skirt and peasant blouse with the triple row of ruffles around the neck. She was wearing her pale blue, satin ballerina slippers, and her hair was tied up in a cluster of bouncy curls with a pale blue ribbon to match.
Around her neck, she wore the tiny blue heart that he had given her when he had said, "Just because ... if I did, you would." She was so glad to see him again. Their time had become so precious, each of them treasuring every moment they spent together.
They went to Beverly's Restaurant and shared a huge salad, and some "chicken in the rough." They had been sitting at the table a long while when Keith suddenly realized it was almost time for the show to start.
