“Now go collect that box,” Sally said. “That lady over there made the lunch.”
I went over to get the box from the stranger, who looked sort of familiar, but somehow different, all fancy in a pleated white skirt and white blouse and shining hair all done up fine. And then I stopped, poleaxed, and my knees gave way. It was Pepper Baker, the gal I'd loved once, who got sent away to finishing school by her pa. And there she was, smiling at me, her eyes big.
“I'm glad you bid, Cotton,” she said.
“So am I, Pepper. My ma, she always said to take a chance if you want anything good to happen.”
