Dovey Coe
“He looked like someone had reached down through his throat and pulled his guts right up out of it.
Someone yelled from the crowd, “Don’t be shy now, Caroline, tell the man how you feel!” Everybody laughed good and hard at that. Almost everybody, that is. Neither Parnell nor Caroline let on that they heard.

Then he shoved his way past Amos and was out the door, and a minute later come the sound of his car starting up and heading down the road into the night.
“That boy don’t take too well to rejection, do he?” someone asked in a real amused tone. Then all sorts of voices started talking, working out amongst themselves what had just happened.MoreLess
