Helanie:
Once I sat in Norman's car, I started to take deep breaths. "Wow, I finally did it," I said to myself, but the minute Norman stormed back in, I gulped and sat straight.
He sat in the driver's seat and started driving, but the minute he adjusted the mirror, I knew he was ready to have a talk.
"You really didn't want to come back, huh?" It was more like a statement to himself than a question to me.
"I would much rather live in the woods than in a luxurious place where I am not respected," I replied, looking outside the window.
"And what about your friends? They are causing damage to your reputation," he stated as he brought up the main topic again.
"They are not doing anything to me. I get involved because I care," I replied again with much confidence this time.
