I’ll never forget the first time he walked down the halls of Cherokee High, how the entire female population—and even a few of the males—swooned. How all anybody in town could talk about was Dean’s movie-star looks, Dean’s northern accent, Dean’s stylish city ways. Dean was good-looking and charming and irresistible. He was all of those things, and he lived right next door. And then I remember something else. Something that shoots a shiver up my spine and slams my heart to a standstill. I remember looking out my bedroom window one weekend afternoon, watching Dean Sullivan scurry across the lawn from our house to his, tucking in his shirt. I remember Ella Mae’s frantic fluster at finding me ten seconds later in the upstairs hallway, when she’d thought I was at the movies, not napping in my room. I remember her furtive, almost feverish looks that night at supper, searching me for knowledge I didn’t know I had. I was too young and naive and self-absorbed then to see the signs. But now. Now I see them. Now I understand. Hope to see you on the blog! All the best..............Margie MargieLawson Lawson Writers Academy Follow me on Twitter: @margielawson
