Walking toward him she smiled as he held out his arm to her but she was unable to take it as her hands were full and she did not want to drop the plates.<em><strong>You lead the way.</strong></em>She smiled, following him out the door and off of the porch. The sky was still bright but the sun was dipping down.

Unbelievably, she landed in a way that the plates had not lost a morsel. But her be-hind ached as well as her ankle throbbed.<br/><br/>She sat there a moment in shock at what had just happened. One leg folded back, partially under her the other straight forward.
