Jessica tried not to look bored, this woman would get along better with her sister. College had broadened Jessica's world view, though, and she managed to smile. "That must have been a lot of fun. My sister's into learning things like that. She wants to be a journalist. Or a fiction writer. She's good too, I have to admit."
It was hard for Jessica to be anything but happy. She'd been through a lot already so far in college. She had been married and had her marriage annulled. Jessica didn't regret that, she had thought that Mike McAllery as the one for her. He just hadn't been. Jessica was always one of those girls who liked to date around. She hadn't been surprised that her marriage hadn't really worked out like it was supposed to. Jessica didn't think she really minded.
