？Hey　Jennifer。？

Jenny　rolled　herself　backwards　on　her　black　swivel　chair　and　then　pulled　herself　forward　again。

Her　curly　brown　hair　was　blow…dried　straight　and　she　looked　older　and　more　sophisticated　than

usual。　？So　you　and　Dan　must　have　had　fun　at　that　fashion　show。　He　didn？t　get　home　until　like；

Saturday　afternoon。　My　dad　was　grumbling　about　how　spoiled　and　irresponsible　we　both　are；　but

then　he　pletely　forgot　to　yell　at　Dan。　As　usual。？

Vanessa　smoothed　her　hand　over　her　practically　shaved　head。　？Actually；　I　didn？t　go　to　the　same

show　he　went　to。　I　got　invited　to　another　one。？

Jenny　looked　confused。　？Oh。？

In　the　back　of　her　mind　Vanessa　sensed　that　something　was　wrong。　What　had　Dan　been　doing　out

all　that　time　anyway？　But　then　again；　everything　had　gotten　screwed　up　in　the　snow。　Maybe　he？d

spent　the　night　at　Zeke？s　house　or　something。　Zeke　lived　downtown。

She　logged　on　as　hairlesscat；　passwordmeow　；　and　clicked　on　her　inbox。　Sure　enough；　there　was

a　message　from　Dan；　and？big　surprise？it　was　a　poem。
