Sarah dials her cell phone on the drive back to Gwen’s. “Paula, it’s Sarah Meadows…. I’m fine, thank you…. I’m in South Carolina at the moment. How are you doing?... Are you still willing to tell your story for my newspaper column?... It’ll probably take us about an hour or so on the phone. When’s a good time for me to call you back to record our conversation?... I’m driving at the moment, but I could call you around four, if that’s okay…. Oh, that’s right, you’re an hour earlier in Texas. So is three o’clock your time alright with you?... Great. I’ll talk to you then….

RE: this week’s column
Dear Sam,
Attached is this week’s column. I have to turn my cell phone off while I’m in court tomorrow, but if you need me, leave a message and I can get back to you during the lunch break – somewhere between ten and noon your time.
Sarah
