Woman’s World USA – August 12, 2019

Sabrina couldn’t help but stare at his

perfect smile—it had been some time since

a man had directed one her way. “Perfect

description of today. Wet stairway got me,”

she added, holding up her bluish swollen

hand with a grimace. “What about you?”

“Over-30 soccer league,” he said, rue-

fully. “Funny...I thought I was still a teen-

ager. Apparently, I’m not. It’s definitely

fractured,” he gritted his teeth and tried to

lift his right arm. “Good thing I’m a lefty.”

Sabrina laughed, pointing down. “Same

here. I got my left hand, but luckily, I’m

a righty.”

“See? There’s always a silver lining.” He

crossed to sit next to her. “I’m Ray Russell,

wounded forward and very grateful only

my arm was injured.”

They shook hands awkwardly. He’s cute,

Sabrina thought. He was scruffy in his gray

sweats and sneakers, but his sincere brown

eyes and dimples more than made up for it.

“And you are...” Ray asked timidly.

“Sabrina Doyle?” an X-ray technician

called from the doorway.

“That’s me,” she said to Ray. “Nice to

meet you...good luck with that arm.”

“You too, Sabrina Doyle,” he answered,

following her with his eyes in a way that

made Sabrina’s pulse quicken.

Sabrina’s X-ray showed no fractures.

“Silver lining,” she smiled to herself, head-

ing to the pharmacy one floor down, when

she spotted Ray heading her way.

“Well, Mr. Russell, we meet again!”

“Sabrina!” he crowed. “So what’s your

prognosis?” he asked, genuinely concerned.

“Sprained, but luckily no breaks. My

black cloud is fading,” she said. “And you?”

“Good news too. A hairline fracture,

six weeks to heal, 21st-century cast,” Ray

showed it off like a new toy. “I can move

my fingers and take a shower. Soccer

league, however, is out. R&R for the rest

of the day.” He met her eye with a hope-

ful look. “Hey...are you hungry? There’s

a breakfast place a few doors down...”

“Starving,” Sabrina replied, her heart

trilling as she smiled. “Let’s do it.”

“Great,” Ray beamed. “Sunrise Café.

I’ll meet you there in 10 minutes.”

“It’s a date,” Sabrina confirmed.

“Great—I’ll see you there,” Ray said,

waving his cast. “If you’re lucky, you can be

the first to sign it.”

Sabrina stepped outside the clinic into

the warm sun, smiling at the blue sky

above. No sign of a black cloud, Sabrina

thought gleefully. But there’s a 90% chance

of romance! —Christine Hauray-Gilbert

Mystery

oni solut

Dorothy was the

killer. Kat told

everyone that

Tony had died,

but she never told

them how he was

murdered. Only

the person who

murdered him

would have known

he was stabbed with a pencil. After some

pressing, Dorothy admitted that after Tony

had refused to back down, and threatened to

take her to court over her unpaid dues, the

two had a scuffle and she stabbed him in the

neck with the pencil he had been using. She

was arrested and taken to prison.
