Waiting by Erin Dennington ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 96 Stella watched with awe as Christina stood up to Matthew and refused to take any of his little jabs to heart. None of the others appeared to be able to do more than stand in the background and silently cheer on Christina; they all knew that Christina was treading on a very thin tightrope. Any sudden move might cause her -- and them -- to fall. Moving up to stand slightly behind Christina, Stella slipped a hand into hers. Christina did not acknowledge her gesture at all but Stella sensed that she was grateful for the support. 21:27 - 11.30.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
