СКАЧАТЬ If Lyle planned to escort her, Marsha thought, she would turn him down.

      Then she heard the outer door close. Stanley Dixon was standing in front of it, his hands behind him. The lock clicked.

      “Hey, Marsha,” Lyle Dumaire said. “What’s the big rush?”

      Marsha had known Lyle since childhood, but now there was a difference.

      “I’m going home.”

      “I’m not interested in what you want.” Though her voice was firm, she was aware of an underlying note of fear.

      “Listen, Marsha,” Lyle blustered. “We know you want to. All girls want to. Eh, fellas?”

      They began to move closer.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
