Adam’s group found a bug in a critical component, delaying the upcoming release for at least two weeks. Getting the overseas team to fix the problem...was his first priority; verifying nothing else was broken as a result would take even more time. Adam was lucky in one respect, though; he was able to work from his home office for these calls. This meant that as soon as he was done with the call, he could relax for a bit before preparing dinner for himself and his wife, Mary.As if on cue, Mary.

"This is so great!" She held it up: a deep violet (!) ballgown lucky to be called "gaudy," its top covered in sequins and bits of lace, shoulders and skirt enormously puffed out, the back wide open until just above the posterior, which was covered by a huge white bow. Easily one of the top five tackiest things I'd ever seen."Yup, that's the one," I grinned. Sondra's smile lit up her eyes like a thousand.
