Ashley had lunch with Shane Miller at TGI Friday's. They sat in a booth, eating in silence. “You seem preoccupied,” Shane said.
“Sorry.” Ashley hesitated a moment. She was tempted to tell him about the lingerie, but it would sound stupid.
Someone got into your drawers? Instead, she said, “I got an invitation to my ten-year high school reunion.”
“Are you going?” “Certainly not.” It came out stronger than Ashley had intended.
Shane Miller looked at her curiously. “Why not? Those things can be fun.” Would Jim Cleary be there?
Would he have a wife and children? What would he say to her? “Sorry I wasn't able to meet you at the train station.”
“Sorry I lied to you about marrying you?” “I'm not going.” But Ashley was unable to get the invitation out of her mind.
It would be nice to see some of my old classmates, she thought. There were a few she had been close to.
One in particular was Florence Schiffer. I wonder what's become of her? And she wondered whether the town of Bedford had changed.
Ashley Patterson had grown up in Bedford, Pennsylvania, a small town two hours east of Pittsburgh, deep in the Allegheny Mountains.
Her father had been head of the Memorial Hospital of Bedford County, one of the top one hundred hospitals in the country.
Bedford had been a wonderful town to grow up in. There were parks for picnics, rivers to fish in and social events that went on all year.
