If she had any secrets, she hid them well. The same could be said of Beth, except her hair and eyes were an alluring brown, and her self-confidence was undoubtedly not as well developed as Anne’s. At least not yet. With Anne’s encouragement, Beth began training to become Anne’s track teammate, and together they earned the title as the area’s top Collegiate runners.
