A week later, Megan had been out sun bathing, she had still not gotten up the nerve to introduce herself to the neighbors when Betina made the first move. Betina called to her over the fence and introduced herself, it seemed that Betina was just as lonely for a friend as Megan was. The two women found themselves talking for hours. Betina invited her over to their house and she had met the black couple’s son, Anthony and Tina’s husband, Jamal. He shook her hand and she noticed how her tiny white hand was completely engulfed by his big black one. His stare reminded her of the big construction worker and she felt the funny feeling in her stomach again, making her flush a little.
