Strangely
enough, it was one of those crazy games that
two people sometimes dream up when under great
pressure. Roommates in college, they had danced
around each other in their freshman year without
either admitting their mutual attraction. Michelle
and Barbara had cried together at the summer
break, and swearing to keep in touch had also
agreed to room together again once the fall
session began. Throughout the summer, they phoned
each other almost daily, and even visited the
others' family several times during the three
months apart.
Similar in a lot of ways, and yet so different
that you had to wonder how they could get along
so well. Both were brunettes, and where Michelle
was Eurasian (her mother was Vietnamese); Barbara
was a farm girl of German descent. Iowa farm
land and Chicago, Illinois are almost two different
worlds, if not planets.
