Seminar

The blonde looked like the sort of girl or woman who had attracted Rock as long as he could remember. He met her among a group of college students who, along with Rock and Todd Taylor, were making their way through a jobs seminar.
Rock and Todd were about thirty to thirty-five years older than anyone else there, including the blonde. They agreed she was lovely. Her hair was cut in a short, simple style, above her ears. She was a little over five-feet tall, weighed at most a hundred pounds, had blue eyes, and tiny features, highlighted by her small, soft mouth. Dressed in a simple, navy blue-tennis skirt, Rock assumed she was an outdoor girl.
It occurred in an instant to Rock that he had known her for several years and that she had never acted so much as remotely interested in him. They stood together at a table advertising the U.S. Army and Rock picked up a heavy, hardcover book with an olive drab cover. "Have you ever considered the military?" he said to her.
"No. I'm not at all interested."
"Really? You know the services, all of them, offer great perks."
"There's no way I'd join any of them. Absolutely no way."
She began to look around at the others around them, clearly it seemed looking for the young people she had arrived with.
