Slowly the queue moved forward and before long she was inside the cinema, the wamth spread through her legs, sending a tingle up her spine and remindi...g her it wasn't just the cinema she'd come to see. Her date had got lost in the foyer, but suddenly he took her arm and pulled her towards the theatre. It was dark inside and he guided her to the back corner, looking around she could see only a few other people present, not surprising given the film reviews. She slid into her seat next to her. He pulled the dead deer from in front of the woman's car and got back in the Jeep and backed closer the car. He got out and hooked up the tow strap and walked back to the Jeep.After he was in the Jeep he rubbed his hands together, "Let me get warm for a minute and then you get in your car and I'll pull you off the road into my driveway. We'll just leave it in the driveway until the snow stops and then we'll worry about getting it out."The woman didn't say anything and Bob knew that she was. Just a lot shorter. Thicker? Yes ... but no longer. Instead of being 11 feet of keel plus two feet of wetted hull the new keel was four feet of keel plus the wetted hull. Andrea's boat now drew six feet of water. There were more places on the water they could go.The repairs meant that a large chunk of floor had to be removed and a pretty good sized piece of aluminum machined to fit where the old keel bolted through the hull. The contact with the bottom didn't break the bolts ... it pulled them. I’d started this morning full of anger at Hannah, but now I felt pity as I wondered what could make her react like this, at the thought of Jason being the father to the child she planned.Finally, she was able to speak. “What do you know about Sickle Cell?”Although her tears had stopped, I saw the pain in her eyes and I knew where this conversation was headed. Every teacher in New York knows about the curse of Sickle Cell in the African American community. About how if both parents are unlucky.
