Oh, I'm so excited! I know this one! I'm so bad at this game. I don't even usually recognize my own stories. But I just read this one again recently. It's
Meet Me In Kansas City by Chris Mulder.
Oh, boy! This is so exciting! This is the first quote I've ever been able to quess without someone else guessing it first!
Oh, no. I don't have another quote! Uhh... I'll be back.
Sorry it took me so long. But since I'll probably never get one right again, I had to find just the right one.
Okay, this story is one I pull up whenever I need a smile and a laugh.
"So how's your arm doing?"
Lois pulled up the sleeve of her t-shirt to expose the
series of dark bruises that had formed on her upper arm
where one of the men had grabbed her. "It looks worse than
it is."
Clark shook his head in amazement. "You can actually see
the finger marks." He took her arm and rotated it
carefully. "And your leg?"
She waved off his concern. "Sore but not too badly bruised.
How about your ribs?"
"Like you said, looks worse than it feels. But I didn't
know skin could be so many different colors at once!"
"Ooo, let me see."
He sat back and lifted the hem of his t-shirt, exposing his
chest, then laughed at the look on Lois's face.
"Geez, Clark! That looks horrible!"
"Doesn't it, though?"
Lois shook her head. "Matches your face, though," she added
with a half smile. "Your right eye is a *very* becoming
shade of purple.
