“Florida and the sea. Um—” Sally breathed, “that’s worth working for.”
“It sure is!”
“There’s something else I’m going to work harder than ever for—” Sally spoke with conviction.
“What’s that?”
“I’m going to try to cut ‘Florida and the sea’ down to just the good, old ‘sea.’ All my life I’ve waited for that.”
“Oh, I don’t know. There are the enemy sub-packs. They’re really dangerous. The water’s awfully cold.”
“That’s just it.” Sally’s eyes shone. “There are the sub-packs—you haven’t forgotten our secret radios?”
“Almost,” Nancy admitted.
“I tried them twice back at the U, when you were gone,” Sally confided. “Nothing doing. Guess we were too far from the sea.”
“Florida will be better.”
