From the "Stories of the Heart" series, there's one detail Sally Jenkins doesn't know.
                                                                "Shuttle Romance"



                                                                            By



                                                                    Jerry Steele







Dreamy eyes, soft whispers, and long kisses.



That's what Paul Addis remembered.



Did she?



It's what his heart could not forget. And as the bus climbed one steep mountainside after another, he wondered what Sally Jenkins was doing right now.  Right now.



Well, right now, Salley Jenkins was standing at the local grocery check-out counter, explaining to her customer for the third time, that her tissue coupon had expired.



She kept his high school picture; full of vigor and confidence, and that dimple in the middle of his chin (that secretly drove her crazy), and was beginning to wonder why.



For it was late December, and he hadn't made it home for Christmas, or even called lately.



Maybe, she thought, it's over.



Except for the ring in his pocket.
