  The royal family had left to go on their trip. Sarah was feeling much better. Just weak.    There was a knock on her door.

Circa 2008 As I pull into the drive, imagine my surprise when I see my celebrity crush mowing my yard.  I about hit my house! There he was; combat boots with new grass stains. Beat up jeans.
