Let me give one of these sentences a try...<BR/><BR/>"She was furious."<BR/><BR/>Her eyes glistened with anger as she glared at his perfectly calm face. Hands tightening into clenched fists, she stared at him without blinking and, for a moment, he was sure she was going to hit him.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918987890132222901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-54818815352902307582009-03-10T00:46:00.000-04:002009-03-10T00:46:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918987890132222901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-50935855267203042922009-03-09T19:30:00.000-04:002009-03-09T19:30:00.000-04:00Wow!
