When I was about twelve one of the women who attended our church stopped me after a service one Sunday and said, "you remind me of a heroine in a Christian romance novel."
I wish I could remember her reasons for seeing that in me. At this point I wasn't talking about any of my doubts; many were still half-formed hunches in the deepest nooks of my mind. Perhaps she mistook my introversion and avoidance of small talk for something deeper?
Or maybe I projected an aura of innate goodness without ever realizing it? ;)

was that Karen who said that? the lady who took you along on a vacation one summer?
I don't remember who it was anymore.
you were one focus of people's unfulfilled dreams and hopes -- another pressure on the PK, huh? ;)
Yes.
