QUOTE : When People Ask<br /><br />How he’s doing now, I have<br /><br />no idea what to say except for,<br /><br />“Better.” I don’t know if that’s<br /><br />true, or what goes on in a place<br /><br />like Aspen Springs, not that any-<br /><br />one knows he’s there, thank God.<br /><br />He has dropped off most people’s<br /><br />radar, although that’s kind of odd.<br /><br />Before he took this unbelievable<br /><br />turn, Conner was top rung on our<br /><br />social ladder. But with his crash<br /><br />and burn no longer news of the day,<br /><br />all but a gossipy few have quit<br /><br />trying to fill in the blanks.<br /><br />One exception is Kendra, who<br /><br />for some idiotic reason still<br /><br />loves him and keeps asking about<br /><br />him, despite the horrible way he<br /><br />dumped her. Kendra may be pretty,<br /><br />but she’s not especially bright.
