to learn them together and…”
    “What? Tell me,” I urged.
    She turned her head and placed it against my chest. “I can tell you are the right one to teach me what I have only dreamed about.”
    I pushed her slightly back to look into her eyes. “Are we moving too fast?”
    “No, Scotty, this feels so right. I want to be with you. Just continue to talk to me so I know what you are thinking. It’s almost like we are thinking the same things and it helps to know that.”
    I moved my head towards hers and our lips met again, this time with much more experience and passion than my earlier attempts. After a long, pleasant series of kisses, I felt more comfortable saying, “My body certainly knows how to react to you.”
    She smiled and moved even closer. By now she knew exactly what I was talking about.

    I watched Lisa close her eyes as she reached for the elevator wall. “Phew, that left my stomach up in the air.”
    “Are you okay?”
    “Yes, but I will be glad to be off the elevator.”
    The cold air in the courtyard stung. An extremely large Christmas tree was being erected for the upcoming holiday season.
    “Can you believe they would cut down something this large and bring it here for just a month? What a shame to take something so beautiful and end its life.”
    My mind drifted to the women who had been brutally murdered. I thought about them never feeling the cold of the winters, or the warmth of summer again. What’s come over the world, if you can kill a tree like that, the President…and all those women? I only half heard what Lisa’s comments were about the tree, as I thought about the lost future of these women and their families. I’ve got to catch this animal, I’ve got to.
    “Earth to Scott, I’m talking to you. Are you in there?”
    “I’m sorry, I was just thinking about the tree, being destroyed after the holiday.”
    I could see Lisa studying me. I wondered what she was thinking at that moment. I was certainly glad we finally met, but it took a president being shot to get us together.
    “Lisa, are you cold?”
    “No, it was cold this morning, but right now I can almost feel the warmth of a fire.”
    “Lisa, I hope I didn’t upset you with our…well our closeness up there?”
    She laughed. “No, I really enjoyed it. I hope we can continue to see each other.” She paused, “I mean to be with each other.”
    I noticed her color, surprised we both had a tendency to blush. “Lisa, I want to see you again, soon. I’ve seen you many times in my thoughts lately, but that’s nothing like being with you. I’m sorry we can’t be with each other longer, but I have to leave for my parents.”
    She reached her other hand out and I knew it was time to kiss again.
    I wish I had hours to spend with her today.
    We kissed for several minutes. “Scotty, I have some things I have to take care of anyway. I really have to get them done soon.”
    We walked to the street. The wind was blowing harder than when we entered the building. I hated the thoughts of being separated, but signaled for a taxi. We entered the cab, but I was embarrassed I couldn’t tell the taxi driver where we were headed. Lisa realized my predicament, smiled and gave the driver her address.
    I was trying to figure out how I could make plans to see her again. We were both quiet. I was surprised when the cab screeched to a stop at her Marlborough Street dormitory building.
    The taxi driver stated the amount and I replied, “Please let it run. You can take me to my car which is nearby.”
    We got out of the taxi and I was still holding her hand. We quickly hugged and kissed again. “Lisa, I want to see you as soon as I can. How can I reach you?”
    She put her hand in my pocket. “That’s my dorm phone number. Please call me. I really liked being with you and…and how we felt together, and I want to be close to you again soon.”
    She was starting to blush, and I could feel the heat also. “I’ll call as soon
