The sun started to set and people were starting to leave. Kay moved from the yard to the porch, which was clouded in smoke from burning rags in buckets, seeking refuge from the mosquitoes. It was going to be a long summer without Reginald. Walter had come by to tell her he was seeing someone but that they owed it to themselves to see where things could go. Kay declined and wished him luck with his girlfriend. The telephone rang at precisely five-thirty. Kay answered it. "Hello, may I speak to Kay?" The voice didn't sound familiar so Kay decided quickly to make the call short, "This is she." She said in the most bored tone she could muster. The voice replied, "Hello She, this is He." And it was with that familiar phrase that Reginald Anthony Billings re-entered Kay's world.
