But she decided to ignore it, for the meanwhile.<br /><br />From Chapter 16: Daring to Drive.miriamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339767447913960853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538026753449287703.post-42906848058727185852010-03-08T21:36:29.994+02:002010-03-08T21:36:29.994+02:00That's the problem with texting, instant messa...That's the problem with texting, instant messaging etc-sometimes you misunderstand something or write something you would never say face to face.smartblondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563028270464282122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538026753449287703.post-903675628947781212010-03-08T20:32:38.784+02:002010-03-08T20:32:38.784+02:00Huh?
