Bird in Hand
““Thank you all for coming,” she said. “I’m just going to read a few short sections. Then we can talk.” She smiled nervously and began: Emma’s college roommate was a girl named Colleen who met her boyfriend, Steve, on the first day of freshman orientation.

“What gave you that idea?” Colleen asked.
“Well, you spend every waking minute with him,” E...mma said. “Not to mention sleeping. I just figured.”
“Look,” Colleen said. “I met Steve in the dining hall and we hit it off. We’re both pre-med, we run cross-country—we’ve got a lot in common. But what if I’d taken a year off before college?
