Katherine had come to the church on pastored for a couple of months. She was always well-dressed. She wore dreams, skirts, or pants. I did not know her well. She was pleasant. She carried herself well. She was qiet but friendly. I was glad she came to our church. I was pretty sure she was some kind of professional. I thought she worked in an office.
