under her breath, Sarah was at it again. She'll never learn.'Heather ppseted aside at the bottom of the stairs as men and women came down to cool off. One couple were looking for a secluded spot to get to know each other better. She shook her head in dismay, that girl would be getting herself into hot water pretty soon and once Beatrice Price found out then the whole town would know. Knowing Rockhampton's small town society ostracized those who didn't conform to their social rules Heather remained determined not to be one of them. Jeeps arrived with loads of sexed-up American GI's whooping and hollering in their excitement. Jumping out of the vehicles before they had stopped, several raced past Heather almost knocking her off the wooden stairs. Sorry darling, the boys are a little rowdy tonight.' A broad smile shone down at her from the tall gangly GI he had caught her gently by the elbow. Thanks, they're certainly here for a good time, if not a long one.' Heather smiled back. Do you have a date tonight?' He asked. Oh sorry I do, but thank you for being such a gentleman.' She hoped the brush off would work.He looked slightly crestfallen but seemed to rally well, how about a dance then, later?' I'll have to ask my date, you know how these big burly men get, he might not like it.' She toyed with the small cloth purse dangling from her left forearm. Well, maybe some other time.' He took the stairs two at a time and disappeared into the throng.Heather breathed a sigh of relief as he left, the last thing she needed was a man in her life. Entering through the door she could tell it was going to be another one of those nights.
