The season was ending. No National Championship this year, (thanks, Longhorns!) but Missy’s happiness was that of an underdog victor. Torrance had phoned from the road; she was driving back to the dorms tonight, her purse loaded with tickets, maps, travelers checks.
A semester abroad in Italy, with no pom-poms or Trojan jokes, no blue-balled athletes sniping in the halls or broken-hearted brothers on voicemail. Back to our roots, Torrance said, laughing. Dance, gymnastics, cheap wine. Maybe we’ll even, like, fall in love or something.
Stranger things… Missy thought. Inside a glossy virgin passport, she folded her heart - and dreamed.
