Graduation

By then, I had new friends, two girls that met at seven in the [[morning]] to read and chat at Coffee Culture near the Boardwalk. Linda’s small house was near the Chinese church, and Catherine’s manor was in a pricey neighborhood. Their houses were near everything new being built, something I envied as someone who had only a small plaza near home. Chasing the exciting life I thought they had, I relished their company. Over time, we grew close.
