SANTA ANA — A Costa Mesa woman whose SUV plowed into a 17-year-old student outside of Newport Harbor High School shortly after classes let out pleaded guilty Thursday to felony driving under the influence and causing the wreck.
Marnie Jo Lippincott, 39, entered the plea in Orange County Superior Court. The charges included enhancements for causing great bodily injury or paralysis, as well as a misdemeanor for driving with a suspended license.
Lippincott was driving her black Chevy Tahoe on Dec. 6 when she hit Crystal Morales, who was crossing Margaret Drive in a crosswalk near of the school.
Morales fell into a coma after the crash and is still recovering from head injuries sustained in the accident.
"I just feel bad for Crystal and her family," Lippincott tearfully told a reporter outside the courtroom.
Morales's mother, Gloria Morales, called the conviction "a little bit of a relief," although she said she still feels anger and stress.
"She's going to be suffering for the long-term," she said of her daughter.
During proceedings, Lippincott appeared before Judge Walter Schwarm in a pink blouse and white skirt, her hands crossed in front of her. Schwarm cautioned her that her guilty plea would result in a first-strike offense, or a conviction of a serious or violent felony, under California law.
Outside of the courtroom, an attorney for Lippincott comforted her, rubbing her back as prosecutors and Morales's family, and Lippincott's defense team, huddled in different areas of the courthouse's hallways.
Crystal Morales is enrolled in a program at Coastline Community College for those suffering from traumatic brain injuries. The Coastline program teaches her techniques for getting through each day, Gloria Morales said.
Although many of the injuries to her body have healed, Gloria Morales said her daughter still struggles with short-term memory loss.
The family, her mom said, is grateful she didn't lose her long-term memory and recognized family members and friends after she came out of a coma.
We're "getting her back to where she needs to be," Gloria Morales said.
The Harbor community has rallied to Morales' side, hosting fundraisers to help her family pay for medical care. Crystal Morales has been described as upbeat and happy; she had a part-time job playing the costumed mouse at Chuck E. Cheese's.
Lippincott will be sentenced Dec. 7. She faces a max sentence of eight years in prison.
Court records show that in 2005 Lippincott pleaded guilty to theft, burglary and obtaining prescription drugs by fraud. She also has two previous traffic violations, including speeding.

Here in 1 minute 55 seconds we see the real price of dairy.. not graphic, just the heartbreaking truth.
Vegans need not watch but those who consume dairy, please do..
Cows only produce milk because they've had a baby. Their milk is supposed to be for their calves, but in the dairy industry calves are considered 'unwanted by-products'..
When we drink cow's milk we condemn an innocent calf to death... and his or her mother to a life of slavery.
The abuse and suffering that we inflict upon dairy cows is nothing short of appalling. The only reason a cow produces milk is to feed her calf... yet within hours of her giving birth her baby is taken away, leaving both the mother and her youngster desperate with grief and confusion... and all so that we can take the milk for ourselves.
And the babies? Terrified, orphaned and alone, they face confinement and death to make veal, or a short, brutal life of slavery like their mother.
Dairy cows who in nature would live beyond 25 years are shipped to the slaughterhouse, tired out and totally spent, emotionally and physically, at the age of four or five.

text: This one didn't make it in my sketchbook which I'm going to have it at San Diego Comicon. Not because I didn't like it, but I usually draw stuff and forget about it. This is my spoof of Whaleboy. I used to make up BS stories and created BS arts of characters that are little too close to Whaleboy's design. Why? Just to make Patrick Morgan (my pal and partner of Whaleboy) nervous and pissed off. I made Kujirakun as if it was some anime character. Too bad I never showed this one to Patrick nor Eduardo (my other pal and partner of Whaleboy). Patrick would've hated me for this BS too, but I gotta say, he's pretty charming.

NY Mother Kills Her 4 Children In A Fire When Trying To Burn Her Boyfriend's Photos!
"New details in the case of the former Elmira woman accused of causing the fire that killed four of her children in her Rochester home. According to the criminal complaint, Bobbie Kugler recklessly caused the fire. The complaint says Kugler was burning pictures of her boyfriend, then throwing them on a dresser "filled with combustible materials." As WENY TV News reported Friday, Rochester police arrested Kugler and charged her with arson and four counts of manslaughter. Four of her children, 14 year old Gage Reavey, 13 year old Greg Kugler, 12 year old Kandee Kugler and six year old Kaiden Kugler died in the fire. Bobbie Kugler and her two year old son Tyron escaped from the home. Kugler's mother and stepfather say they haven't talked to Bobbie since she was arrested, but don't believe the details in the complaint. "I can believe there was some kind of accident that happened, but as far as it being any kind of intentional thing, that I don't believe. And it also doesn't make any sense the fire department says the fire started in the back and her bedroom was in the front." Kugler was arraigned Saturday in Rochester; she's pleaded not guilty. She remains in jail on $300,000 cash bail. " -WENY

Dakar 2019: Just Another Day in the Dunes
WestX1000 provides us with stage one updates from Dakar 2019.
Begin Press Release:
Just Another Day in the Dunes
A Promising Stage One at the Dakar Rally Gives the United States Hope
Even the best racers and biggest trucks could be swallowed whole by the mountains of sand making up the Ica region surrounding Pisco.
In a battle between man, machine and Mother Nature, it seemed that yesterday man and his machine have prevailed ? this time around. Special Stage One was a relatively short and fast-paced race. The route, 70-percent of which were dunes, sifted out the top competitors who, as it turns out, includes the Americans.
?Although it was a short stage today, it was a very large learning curve for me. The computer equipment on the bike is tricky to pick up right away. Because I didn?t know how to work it, I made some errors, which made me a little frustrated with my results. But ultimately, I was happy with how I was able to move up in the overall position from my starting point. I had to remind myself that I?m in Peru living my dream and not to let anything break my spirit.? ? Skyler Howes #73, Garrett Off-Road Racing team
Ricky Brabec (#15) broke into the top three, nabbing the third seat in bikes leaving everyone but Joan Barreda (#5) and Pablo Quintanilla (#6) in his dust. Andrew Short (#29) made great time landing himself at 13 in the ranks. And Garrett Poucher (#71), Skyler Howes (#73) and Nathan Rafferty (#104) fought hard for better starting positions come Second Stage Two, which took off a little later this morning. A relief for riders needing to catch up on some Zzz?s. Poucher and Skyler will begin at the 45th and 46th positions while Rafferty will set off at 97th. Household name, Robby Gordon, experienced some minor setbacks which had forced him to miss his originally scheduled scrutineering date. But it all worked out in the end, as Gordon and teammate Kellon Walch (#316) drove formidably, finishing 21st in the car rankings. Driver Blade Hildebrand, his co-pilot Bill Conger (#367) and teammates Cole Potts and Max Eddy (#346) also did well for themselves leaving the start line this morning 34th and 43rd in line. Last of the Americans, but certainly not least, Casey Currie (#343), a friend and protégé? of Robby Gordon?s, promised to make a name for himself at Dakar, in the new Side-by-Side (SxS) class. With a rise in popularity, we?re seeing these leisure utility vehicles pop up in more and more off-road events. And Currie plans to battle his way to the podium in his, earning 6th in class by the time he reached the end of his road book.
Altogether, the first special stage seemed to go off without a hitch. The day produced only a single recorded withdrawal and one non-critical medical situation when a car barrel rolled, so there?s still a lot of folks with skin in the game. And racers aren?t giving in yet! Some delays at the beginning could be expected, but just about everyone reached the proverbial checkered flag unscathed. Tuesda...

- Nice looking crowd, right? Especially the cuties in the front row: Eric (my spouse on the left) and Milo (QZAP co-founder and zine reading MC on the right, in the hat).
- We read at the Tool Shed, an erotic boutique. Other venues included an academic library archives, an art gallery, a public library, a coffee shop, a tavern, an anarchist collective house store front, a restaurant, and a zine store, so a sex toy shop was about the only thing left.
- The zine reading kicked off the Zine Librarians (un)Conference, an awesome event, which was the only thing that saved me from crying my eyes out as the zine mobile left me behind.

South Dakota Wildlife Officials Clarify Dogs-and-Lions Bill
RAPID CITY - South Dakota wildlife officials say some hunters are confused about a bill signed by Gov. Dennis Daugaard that appears to change state law allowing the use of dogs to hunt mountain lions.
Officials tell the Rapid City Journal that the Game, Fish and Parks Commission already had the authority to allow the use of dogs for lion hunting - but dogs are still prohibited for lion hunting outside of Custer State Park.
Officials say the intent of the bill is to allow the use of leashed dogs in finding big game animals that are wounded or presumed dead.

Gem Lake's east shore, Seven Devils National Wilderness, Idaho County, Idaho, USA. Gem Lake is roughly 1,200 ft long and 650 ft wide and sits at about 7,775 ft above sea level. It has a shoreline distance of 0.75 miles. The lake can be reached by hiking or horse back riding about 6.7 miles from the Seven Devils Campground. Image taken Oct 12, 2012.
Idaho is a state located in the northwestern region of the United States of America. Idaho is the 14th largest state by area, ranks 39th by population and 53rd by population density of the 50 United States. Idaho was the 43rd state to be admitted into the Union, on July 3, 1890. Idaho is landlocked, being bordered by Canada on the north and the states of Washington and Oregon on the west, Nevada and Utah on the south and Montana and Wyoming on the east. Idaho is nicknamed "The Gem State" because nearly every known gemstone is found within the state. Idaho is also famous for producing about one third of all potatoes grown in the USA. Idaho also hosts the largest barrel cheese factory in the world, producing 120K metric tons of cheese per year. There is some ambiguity as to where the name "Idaho" came from, but it is generally believed to have simply been made up by George M. Willing. There is a possibility it was derived from a Native American phrase. Idaho is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population was about 1.58M in July 2011 with 84% being Caucasian, 11.2% Hispanic and 1.1% Native American. The state capital and largest city is Boise.Source: wikipedia

DominicanToday.com – The international ring that stole US$45 million in 27 countries through ATM operations, also cloned the cards of businessmen and celebrities from the Dominican Republic, the National Police said.
U.S. officials said Thursday that the scam had a branch in New York City, composed of Dominicans, whose alleged leader, identified as Alberto Yusi Lajud Peña, 23, was killed on April 27 in a house in San Francisco de Macoris.
Investigators found US$100,000 in cash in the house, as well as an M-16 assault rifle, two 9 mm pistols, a revolver, ammunition clips and a telescopic sight. The money and weapons belonged to Lajud-Pena, police said.
Most popular destinations for this type of fraud are the United States and the Dominican Republic
By Paisley Dodds, Associated Press
International law enforcement agencies say the recent $45 million dollar ATM heist is just one of many scams they're fighting in an unprecedented wave of sophisticated cyberattacks. Old-school robberies by masked criminals are being eclipsed by stealth multimillion dollar cybercrime operations which are catching companies and investigators by surprise. "We are seeing an unprecedented number of cyberscams that include phishing for financial data, viruses, credit card fraud and others," Marcin Skowronek, an investigator at Europol's European Cybercrime Center in The Hague said on Saturday. "In Europe, we are generally quite well protected against some types of fraud because of the chip and pin technology we use, but there are still shops and machines around the world who still take cards without chips. And the most popular destinations for this type of fraud are the United States and the Dominican Republic." U.S. Investigators said Thursday a gang hit cash machines in 27 countries in two attacks — the first netting $5 million in December and then $40 million in February in a 10-hour spree that involved about 36,000 transactions. Hackers got into bank databases, eliminated withdrawal limits on prepaid debit cards and created access codes. Others loaded that data onto any plastic card — even a hotel keycard — with a magnetic stripe A similar scam yielded some 50 arrests this year in Europe during a joint police operation between Romanian police and Europol, Skowronek said. The operation took more than a year, involved some 400 police officers across Europe and required work comparing bank losses to illegal transactions and then cross-referencing suspects, said Skowronek, who said many national police forces were beefing up their undercover work in the cyberworld to catch criminals. Investigators found illegal workshops for producing devices and software to manipulate point-of-sale terminals. Illegal electronic equipment, financial data, cloned cards and cash were seized in raids in Britain and Romania. The group stole credit and debit card numbers and PIN codes by implanting card reading devices and malicious software on point-of-sale terminals. The criminals then used counterfeit payment cards with stolen data for further illegal transactions in countries that included Argentina, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the United States. Some 36,000 debit card and credit card holders in some 16 countries were affected, Skowronek said. The amount stolen was unclear. Bank fraud, ATM scams and phishing are common in Romania, one of the most corrupt countries in the European Union, according to Transparency International which monitors and measures graft. Under the late communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, who was ousted and executed in 1989, Romanians specialized in mathematics and computer coding and criminal gangs have tapped into those skills. The tradition has continued and Romanian school students are more advanced in mathematics than many of their European counterparts. Nadine Spanu, a spokeswoman for Romania's anti-crime prosecutors, said Saturday she had no statement to offer on the $45 million heist or a possible Romania connection. Skimming works when criminals place devices on ATMs that copy consumers' card details and leave them vulnerable to fraud. There have been similar cases in the United States and Britain. The EU is the world's largest market for payment card transactions and it is estimated that organized crime groups derive more than 1.5 billion euros ($1.9 billion) a year from payment card fraud in the EU. Mike Urban, director of financial crime solutions at Fiserv, a Brookfield-Wisconsin-based company that provides financial technology to banks, credit unions and corporations across the world, says banks have not caught up with the threat of electronic crime. "Compare this to a physical bank security. If someone walks in today, they're probably not going to get very much money, the dye pack is going to explode, they will be caught on video, they're probably not going to get away with it, and they're probably going to spend a long time in jail," said Urban. "Online, in the cyberworld, we're not there yet."

Eating healthy is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. It is something that should be taught to children at a young age. These are some general guidelines for helping your child eat healthy. It is important to discuss your child's diet with your child's healthcare provider before making any dietary changes or placing your child on a diet:
Eat 3 meals a day, with healthy snacks in-between.
Increase fiber in the diet and decrease the use of salt.
Drink water. Try to avoid drinks and juices that are high in sugar.
Children under the age of 2 need fats in their diet to help with the growth of their nervous system. Don't put your child on a low-fat diet without talking to your child's healthcare provider.
Eat balanced meals.
When cooking for your child, try to bake, grill, or broil instead of frying.
Decrease your child's sugar intake.
Eat fruit or vegetables for a snack.
Decrease the use of butter and heavy gravies.
Eat more lean chicken, fish, and beans for protein.
The MyPlate icon is a guideline to help you and your child eat a healthy diet. MyPlate can help you and your child eat a variety of foods while encouraging the right amount of calories and fat.
The USDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have prepared the following food plates to guide parents in selecting foods for children 2 years and older.
The MyPlate icon is divided into 5 food group categories, emphasizing the nutritional intake of the following:
Grains. Foods that are made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain are grain products. Examples include whole-wheat, brown rice, and oatmeal. Aim for mostly whole-grains.
Vegetables. Vary your vegetables. Choose a variety of vegetables, including dark green, red, and orange vegetables, legumes (peas and beans), and starchy vegetables.
Fruits. Any fruit or 100% fruit juice counts as part of the fruit group. Fruits may be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried, and may be whole, cut-up, or pureed. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommend infants should not have any juice before 12 months of age without a doctor's approval. They also recommend children 1 to 3 have no more than 4 ounces of juice per day. For children 4 to 6, limit juice to 4 to 6 ounces of juice per day. For children 7 to 18, limit juice to 8 ounces (1 cup) of juice per day.
Dairy. Milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Focus on fat-free or low-fat products, as well as those that are high in calcium.
Protein. Go lean on protein. Choose low-fat or lean meats and poultry. Vary your protein routine. Choose more fish, nuts, seeds, peas, and beans.
Oils are not a food group, yet some, like nut oils, have vital nutrients and can be included in the diet. Others, like animal fats, are solid and should be avoided.
Exercise and everyday physical activity should also be included with a healthy dietary plan.
Here are some tips to follow:
Try to control when and where food is eaten by your children. Provide regular daily meal times with social interaction and demonstration of healthy eating behaviors.
Involve children in choosing and preparing foods and teach them to make healthy choices by letting them choose foods based on their nutritional value.
Select foods with these nutrients when possible: vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber.
Most Americans need to cut the number of calories they consume. When it comes to weight control, calories do count. Controlling portion sizes and eating nonprocessed foods helps limit calorie intake and increase nutrients.
Parents are encouraged to serve recommended serving sizes for children.
Parents are encouraged to limit children's screen use to less than 2 hours daily. Instead encourage activities that call for more movement.
Children and adolescents need at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days for good health and fitness and healthy weight during growth.
To prevent dehydration, encourage children to drink fluid regularly during physical activity and drink several glasses of water or other fluid after the physical activity is completed.
To find more information about the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015–2020 and to determine the appropriate dietary recommendations for your child's age, sex, and physical activity level, visit MyPlate.gov and 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines. Please note that the MyPlate plan is designed for people over the age of 2 who do not have chronic health conditions.
Always talk with your child's healthcare provider regarding his or her healthy diet and exercise requirements.

After finishing in second place five times over the past two seasons, Parker Kligerman finally came up with a breakthrough victory by winning the fred's 250 Powered by Coca-Cola NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway.
Kligerman's first career victory came when he used a push from Johnny Sauter to pass James Buescher and Ty Dillon coming through the trioval with one lap to go. Sauter finished second, followed by Buescher in third and Dillon fourth.
"I knew it was just a matter of time before we got that first win, but I never dreamed it would happen here," Kligerman said. "I'm proud to have my first win happen here at Talladega."
Kligerman is the eighth first-time winner on the Camping World Truck Series this year, a series record. But for much of the race it did not appear that he would be able to break his winless streak. Kligerman's truck continually dropped to the back of the field because of a variety of issues, including a bad pit stop, a vibration, a weak battery and a malfunctioning alternator.
"We fought every single possible thing you could fight today," Kligerman said. "At one point the dashboard looked like a Christmas tree for about 20 laps because all the gauges were going out."
As a result of the all the problems, Kligerman found himself in 19th place with only 14 laps to go. But he quickly worked his way toward the front, and then took the lead when slight contact between Dillon and Buescher caused Buescher's car to wobble just enough that Kligerman and Sauter were able to make the pass heading toward turn one.
"We had it working, then it all kind of fell apart," Buescher said. "(Kligerman and Sauter) came with a strong run on the outside. I was trying to back up to Ty, but I got really loose in the trioval and thought I was going to spin. I was able to hang onto it, but I couldn't keep the lead."
Timothy Peters finished fifth followed by Ryan Blaney in sixth, Kurt Busch seventh, German Quiroga eighth, Tim George Jr. ninth and Mobile native Cale Gale 10th.
The victory was especially enjoyable for Kligerman because he had to change teams midway through this season and joined Red Horse Racing less than two months ago.
"It's been a long road to get to this first victory," Kligerman said. "Two different teams, a lot of adversity. But I've been put with some of the best people I've ever worked with and raced with. It starts at the top with (team owner) Tom DeLoach and his whole Red Horse Racing team."
The victory was the 10th all-time for Red Horse Racing and came in the team's 300th start. It also gave Toyota 11 victories in the past 12 Camping World Truck Series races at either Talladega or Daytona International Speedway.
"To win on the 300th (start) makes it really special," DeLoach said. "This is just a really special day for all of us."

First of all, a huge thank you to Paula for having me on her fabulous blog!
Now, I know you all are laughing at my title! I can hear you all the way over here! I too was a non-believer of having Thanksgiving for twelve people at my house without stress until I followed a few simple steps.
Before I tell you all my greasy turkey secrets, you need to know what led me down this path of stuffing enlightenment. Being the type A, dream big, holiday nostalgic nut that I am, every year for the past five years I have envisioned the perfect Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I have enthusiastically invited my mother, in-laws and siblings to our house. Then I spend several weeks before Thanksgiving dreaming of serving the juiciest turkey, the moistest stuffing, and the richest Bourbon Bread Pudding, to name a few of the dishes.
Every year, I get up at the crack of dawn to get Thanksgiving dinner started, and I slave all day long to make sure everyone has the perfect meal. At the end of the day, after many trials and tribulations, I am exhausted, have barely spoken to any of my relatives, and have yelled at my children at least eight times, and snapped like a pit bull at my husband to the point that he refuses to come into the kitchen.
Needless to say, I have managed to produce a Martha Stewart like Thanksgiving for those I love, but never enjoyed the experience until last year. I did a little research, followed a few simple steps and had a glorious Thanksgiving that I actually enjoyed. If you are like I was and bend over backwards to present a fabulous spread that just about drives you into the loony bin, I want you to take a deep breath, trust in your fellow type-A hostess, and follow my advice.
1. Make a plan – Make a guest list and then plan your menu at least two weeks in advance. Make a shopping list and then two weeks before T day check that you have the required spices, kitchen tools and yes, enough chairs to seat all the lucky people you've invited.
2. Shop one week before Thanksgiving. If you wait, you will be fighting someone for the last bag of pecans or the 40 pound turkey you just have to have.
3. Make some of your dishes ahead. Do not create a menu chalked full of dishes that must be made on Thanksgiving Day. If you do have several dishes you have to make that day, distribute them evenly between the stove, oven and microwave.
4. Avoid the 'new' unless you taste to see if it's true. In other words, if you are making anything new, using new kitchen equipment or even serving an unfamiliar wine, have a test run. How hard is that? If you need me to test run your wine, just call me!
5. Manage your munchkins! My kids love to be underfoot. I have learned to stock new DVD's just for T day. Also, my four year old loves to "cook." I now let him bake cookies and decorate them on my island away from the major preparations.
6. Don't feel you must provide an overabundance of appetizers. Keep it simple! Your guests will thank you, and if they don't their waists will!
7. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to defrost the turkey. I learned the hard way that three days is not always enough!
8. Everything doesn't have to be homemade! Shh!!! I didn't say that. Add your own special flair, put it on a great piece of china and voila—a grand creation.
9. Plan something to do after the eating is over. Here are some ideas: games, movies, decorating the Christmas tree!
10. Have fun! Don't stay in the kitchen the whole day!
Now that I have conquered Thanksgiving stress, I'm going to work on mastering Christmas Mayhem!
As a Regency romance writer, thinking of the holidays got me to contemplating if the women of the ton were ever stressed to present a perfect Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Somehow, I doubt their worries compared to mine, as most of the ton had a legion of household servants. However, having all those servants always seems to free up my characters to get into some sort of mayhem.
And there's no better mayhem than the chaos between rakes and the women who love them. If you're looking for a way to escape the noise of your house on Thanksgiving try downloading the new anthology I'm part of, A Regency Christmas Summons. You can find my story, The Gift of Seduction, along with Ava Stone's and Aileen Fish's in, A Summons From Yorkshire.
Careful though, once you start to read the books you won't want to stop, and you may very well find yourself locked in your bedroom and ignoring your guests until you have finished all four of the books in the anthology! Here's a sneak peak at my story:
"Lottie." He closed the door behind him and drew her into his arms. She forced herself not to turn her head to the side when he pressed his lips to hers. A small, irrepressible shutter ran through her body. "You're nervous?" he asked, stroking a hand over her hair.
She nodded.
"But it's not your first time?"
But it was her first time with a man she didn't love. Drew had been her first, her only. Laying with him, his exquisite feather-light fingers down her chest, over her stomach, between her—she squeezed her eyes shut.
"Lottie, come sit," Salisbury said, taking her hand and leading her to the settee. She followed him and sat while making an effort to compose herself.
"I've something for you, dear heart."
"Thank you, Salisbury," she said reaching for the glittering diamond ring he held between his index finger and thumb. She fought the tide of disappointment that wailed within her. She had imagined this moment a thousand times, but it had always been Drew sitting on the other side, and their future had been bright with the promise of love. Foolish, stupid girl. That sort of love only existed in the fairy tales her mother had read to her as a child.
"You've kept your part of our bargain perfectly," she murmured. She reached for the tie of her dressing robe, but her shaking hands made undoing the knot impossible. "I'm sorry," she whispered, willing herself to go through with her plan. She wanted to lay with Salisbury. She wanted to replace the memory of Drew with another man, the man who would be her husband. Why did her heart beat so hard it echoed through her entire body and set her teeth to chattering? She clenched down against the noise.
Salisbury's hands settled over her fumbling fingers. "Your skin is like ice."
She smiled faintly. What a ninny she was being. "The room's cold."
He shook his head. "It's hot, if you ask me."
Yes, well, she hadn't asked. Just like a man to give an answer a woman didn't want. Charlotte shrugged. "Nerves, I suppose."
Salisbury gently cupped her face. "You will forget whoever he was."
Charlotte wasn't sure if that was a command or a promise. Either way, she needed to nod. "Perhaps, we should begin, there's not much time before they'll call me to stage."
"I've been thinking, we should wait until we are properly wed."
"Oh, yes," Charlotte blurted, feeling as if the hounds of hell had just been called off her heels. "That's a sound idea."
Salisbury offered a cynical smile. "Your enthusiasm for the delay wounds my inflated pride."
Charlotte's heart dropped to her bare feet. What to say? She scrambled for the right words, but a loud knocking and a harsh, clipped, "curtain's going up in five," saved her from having to respond.
"That's my cue," she said, rushing to put on her slippers and her costume. "We'll talk later?"
Salisbury stood and opened the door for her. "No need. Tomorrow we'll be wed. Whatever's there's to say, we've a lifetime to do it."

She glanced up to thank her savior and stared in numb silence into aqua blue eyes, surrounded by long sooty lashes set in the face of a dark devil.
"Release me at once," she hissed at Drew, as the heat of longing and desire danced up her body, flushed her chest, and singed her face.
The hounds of hell indeed.
Satan was holding her in his arms, and she was not about to be dragged back down into the pits of hell, otherwise known as love.
