Violet nearly choked on a bite of her BLT when she heard a voice right next to her. She hurriedly finished chewing and swallowed it, then turned to look into the baby-blue eyes of a boy she hadn't met before--what had he said his name was? That's right, George--she liked that name, it reminded her of her friend back home.

"Pleased to meet you."
