| The bruise on the back of my thigh was faded yellow, almost goneMy side felt
fine, which made me think that my rib had never really been broken
I'd seen my face while I was cleaning mirrors two weeks agoThe scar forming on my cheek
was dark red and as big as the palm of my hand, with a dozen jagged points around the edgesIt
bothered Melanie more than it did me
?I'll take the goal,? Ian told me, while Lily fell back and Wes paced beside the ballCompetition appealed to her
From the moment the game started?Wes kicking the ball back to Lily and then sprinting ahead
to get tiffany inspired jewelry around me for her pass?there was very little time to thinkOnly to react and to feelSee

surprised by how fast I was?launch the ball to Ian and move up the fieldLily was playing too
far forwardI raced her to the lantern goalpost and wonIan aimed the pass perfectly, and I
scored the first goal

teamwork with IanI was quick, and his aim was deadlyWes's goading
dried up before Ian scored the cartier men's tank solo third goal

I liked that?it made me smile
?Don't be a sore loser,? Lily said, reaching out to tickle Wes's stomach playfullyHe caught her
fingers and pulled her closer to himShe laughed, tugging away, but Wes reeled her in and
planted a solid kiss on her laughing mouth
Ian and I exchanged a quick, startled glance
?For you, I gucci watches for women will lose with grace,? Wes told her, and then set her free
Lily's smooth caramel skin had taken on a bit of pink on her cheeks and neckShe peeked at Ian
and me to see our reaction
?And now,? Wes continued, ?I'm off to get reinforcementsWe'll see how your little ringer does
against Kyle, Ian He lobbed the ball into the far dark corner of the cave, where I heard it
splash into the spring
Ian trotted off to retrieve it, while I continued to look at Lily curiously

?Nothing,? she assured me?It was Wes's? reaction to you that surprised meI didn't know he
had so much depth to himI was never really aware of him before thatHe's too young
for me, but what does that matter here?? She laughed again?It's strange how life and love go
