He watched as she tore a card into tiny pieces and stuffed the pieces into a pocket. Suddenly she looked up at Charles. “Are you nervous?” she asked. “No, I’m not nervous—not at all,” Charles stammered. “What about you?” “Uh, no, me neither,” the girl responded. At that moment, Ms. Swanson appeared. “Charles Locke?” she called out.
