“Girlfriend?” Sally asked, looking a little surprised at first but then smiled, and took Katelynn’s hand into hers. “Oh it’s so nice to meet you! Are you from Metro City?” she asked.
“Moved there recently actually..from Washington state,” she replied, smiling broadly at the woman. She was glad she was friendly though Katelynn still felt a bit ugly standing next to her. “You two knew each other a long time?”
“Washington? Wow, political girl!” Sally grinned, “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. And yes, we do don’t we Jack?” she asked, looking up at him since she was a mere five foot two next to Jack’s five foot five.
“Mm.” he nodded his head once.
“My big brother used to help on Jack’s family land and I saw him a few times. He was the mystery of the town, back then.” she explained to Katelynn, letting go of her hand. “He rarely left the land.”
