Sometimes time helped her solve her problems, sometimes it made them worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a lovely young woman, you'd think there would be young men lined up to talk to her at any gathering.

No way was I going after it - I'd been burned too many times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt wasn't like I had a choice after that. Because the grill itself dropped out through the bottom of the rolling coach we were cooking out of that summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI looked up at Hami, my order-taker, business partner, and lover - only to see her fall through the floor as well. A look of shock and trying to say something, but frozen in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the coach disappeared, and I fell with it - but only as far as the pavement it used to be parked on. I could see the asphalt beneath my feet at least.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil it turned to some sort of foamy waves lapping on a beach I'd never seen before. Green hard sand.

How have you been?\" Carol was standing in front of a crystal fire place, warming herself from the magma heat that was channeled out of the earth's core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Not bad, Carol.
