She felt a little better when she saw Phillipa go to another girl with a stack of papers in her hand, and leave them on the girl's desk.

Then Phillipa went back to her own desk, and brooded over the situation

that faced her. She

knew it was more doubtful than she had thought. Last night Alan had at least kissed her and he hadn't been so "steamed up over Natalie."
