End of a band

Usage examples of ana.

My God, thought Ana, was having a fabulous pair of breasts a prerequisite in this city?

In Bideford Ana would have been expected to give a little of herself back to the assistant, whether she liked it or not, just so as not to be thought rude.

The fabric of his trousers was silky and thin, and Ana could clearly see the outline of a pair of unappetiz-ingly small briefs digging into his fleshy buttocks.

Shapes loomed out of the overcast shadows at Ana, and there was an odd smell in the room.

Ana, and for the rest of her schooldays Ana was commonly known as One-Hit-Wonder Wills.

This was much more the sort of room Ana had expected Bee to have been living in.

Although Bee was her half sister, Ana tended to think of her as more of a sixteenth sister, or a sixty-fourth sister, or even, to put it decimally, a nought-point-nought-nought-nought-one-percent sister.

But on the other hand, Ana had always found Bee frus-tratingly shallow and occasionally downright cruel.

Bee grimaced at her sideways and Ana felt herself die a little inside.

And then Bee turned to talk to Gay, her interaction with Ana officially over.

She picked it up, and as she brought it to her lips Ana noticed her hands shaking.

The conversation between Bee and Gay was becoming predictably fractious, and Ana pulled herself from her daydreams.

For a while the conversation had been lively and friendly, and Ana had sat on her barstool, sipping her Coke and basking in the new ambiance.

But as the car disappeared into the exit tunnel and Bee thought she was out of view, Ana saw her drop her hand, break off her smile, and let her shoulders slump forward before turning and heading slowly toward the lifts.

Bee did send Ana a card, however, with a photograph of a lily on the front.
