Between a Jock and a Hard Place: A Romance Novella (12 page)

Carla nodded, unable to speak. She
pulled her friend into a fierce hug and then turned and walked away. At the
outside doors she paused and turned. Tears streaked her face, but she smiled,
waved a hand and then disappeared into the brilliant sunshine.

Bella gave a sigh of relief. One more
hurdle crossed. She looked up at the departures board, even though the ticket
seller had told her which bay to look for. Then she looked down at the ticket
in her hand. Los Angeles. Not telling Carla where she was going had been
difficult, but the change of plan was something she had to do on her own... an
act of defiance, perhaps. She’d write to both her mother and Carla as soon as
she found somewhere to live.
