Sinopsis

Everyone was getting ready for the barbeque; Lon was standing near the fire that Warren had built, looking into the flames, with his thoughts."I'm so terribly sorry, Lonnie.""He turned around to see the beautiful Laura, sobbing and holding her arms out to him. I didn't think I would ever see you again. They told me they thought you were dead."He took her in his arms and held her just as before. He could feel her body jerk with the sobs. They stood there for a long time that way. Finally they separated, and she tried to smile "It wasn't your fault, Laura. No need to apologize; we got caught in something that was totally beyond our control." And he held her again.
