I sat up at the counter and

pretended to look the menu over

but I was watching Stella.

I was never so glad

to see anybody in my life.

There was something about her

that got me.  She wasn't

all over you.  She had

that cool aloofness--

luscious figure, soft skin.

I watched her fill

two bowls of cereal.
