Thanks. She put her skis away in the ski room and took off her boots. What a wonderful moment that was! Ski boots were such big, unnatural things to wear on your feet. But it was almost worth it for the pleasure of taking them off at the end of the day. In her room, she got undressed and was admiring some large purple bruises from her fall all down her left side when the phone rang. "Hi, it's me," said Bruno. 'Herr Grunwalder has agreed to meet you tomorrow. But I'd like to see you tonight. I need to tell you about something." His voice sounded worried. What's wrong?" asked Clare Nothing, well I don't know. I'll see you later Clare felt she was getting mixed messages from Bruno one minute he was obviously attracted to her, the next he seemed to be putting a distance between them. What was going on? She didn't need this right now.
