'Could I get a beer Annie? ' br She had her back to him br She froze...panic gripped her soul! br She wilfully ignored the request br Everyone on the island knew her as 'Dawn'! br br 'Annie'...meant someone from her past... br That could only mean trouble! ! br She went about her business without flinching br br She turned back to her customers br With two 'island hoppers' in her hands br And met his blue eyes, square on br br 'Aloha Annie'! br br Nervously flushing, br She said...'I'm sorry... br I think you have me br Mixed up with someone else...' br My name is 'Dawn' br br 'I don't think so... br I think I would know you anywhere... br I'm not in the habit br Of saving Damsels in distress... br My name is 'Sam' ' br br For a moment, she was caught br Like a deer in headlights br She quickly recovered... br 'Sam...hmmm... br Nope...not ringing any bells...' br br 'Ok Annie...have it your way! br But I thought I might at least br Get a hug for saving your life! ' br br He finished his beer br And walked out br Without saying another word to her br This would take some time... br And he had all the time in the world... br br To be continued...
