Balancing in them while trying to stay steady and drink a beer was hard work.
“Dr. Cromwell and his brother!” Jessica cried. “Can you believe that?”
No, no I could not. Especially since I’d heard they were leaving the country. Not going to Florida.
“We couldn’t either,” Jessica admitted. “He hung out with us. Even bought his brother a beer to
