"And it's still falling," reminded Audrey.
"I bet those lifts will be opening up by next weekend."
Maggie glanced over at Spencer with a smile.
But suddenly he grew sad, and at the same instant she
remembered his foot hidden beneath the table, still in its
cast. "Doesn't that thing come off in a couple weeks?" she
asked hopefully.
"Yeah, the doc said maybe by mid-December; if I'm
