Title: Anna
Disclaimer: Not my characters.
For Nancy.


Anna Campbell was the prettiest girl in Bobby Bowman's class. So he couldn't understand what she saw in him. (It would be years before his self-image improved.)

He walked her home from the movies one night, and she let him kiss her under her dad's oak tree.

When she came to school with a black eye, he went to her house and attacked her father. (Mr. Campbell never hit her again.)

She said she loved him.

Lyle thinks of her often. The Centre doesn't know about her and he wants to keep it that way.

Because he loved her too.
