I like the way you go back and repeat mannerisms.

It might be something that she and Clayton used to do and then Clayton slowly pulled away from that hobby, so now she gets out the joggers each morning and runs like a madwoman, trying to outrun the situation she finds herself in. <br /><br />Just a thought,<br /><br />DianaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390499617020256180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-91083969219204807012010-10-23T14:41:39.487-05:002010-10-23T14:41:39.487-05:00No problem, Sharon.
