“I’m only stating the likelihood of something like that with her,” Raine explained. “People like that are unpredictable and it’s better to be aware of them than to be caught by surprise.”
“I suppose I should be grateful for you telling me about her then,” Julietta responded reflectively.
A vehicle pulled up on the side of the road and hooted.
“Who is that?” Raine asked curiously.
“Hi there!” someone called from the open window on the driver’s side.
“Oh, it’s Sheila,” Julietta responded. “She’s a friend of mine.”
“Then you’re safe and I have to leave now,” Raine responded. He made a quick salute and turned on his heel. He walked so fast back up along the footpath that Julietta did not find a chance to thank him for anything.
“Who was that hunk?” Sheila asked with her eyes stretched wide with excitement.
Julietta climbed into the vehicle and closed the door.
