Mary
When Mary left her office, she walked home to her apartment on Twilight Road. The chill of the early morning made her __put__ her hands into the pockets of her stylish jacket and pick up her pace. The weather brought to mind a long-forgotten line from Little Women. One of the sisters – she couldn’t __remember__ whether it was Berth or Amy – said that November was a disagreeable month, and Jo agreed, commenting that that was why she was born in it.
Me, too, Mary thought, “My birthday is November the twenty-forth. The Thanksgiving baby they called me. Thanksgiving and birthdays __used__ to be fun, but not for me. I had to jog between two dinners and there was no one to help me. It was a problem to manage two dinners in different places at the same time. Of course, my domestic problem is small, compared with Millie’s,” she thought as she __reached__ her street and turned west. Millie was her best friend and she was in __trouble__.
Yesterday her meeting with Millie was strange. Millie had stayed at the office for about an hour. Over a cup of tea, Millie had insisted that Mary keep the turquoise ring. “If something were to happen to me, it’s important that you have it just in __case__ the woman who phoned you contacts you again,” she had said. She doesn’t mean if something happens to her; she means when, Mary thought, as she opened the door and turned __on__ the light in her apartment.
