" Thanks." She smiled as she sucked her vodka coke through a straw. "I was kind of hoping we would bump into each other again." Really? I... Every aft...rnoon, after class, I would wait in the library for hours hoping to catch a glimpse of you." Oh, how cute. Actually, my classes have been moved to Old hall Street." Ah... That explains it."Now if I was sober I would just bore her by talking around the obvious. She liked me and I loved her. But I was pissed as an Irish fart and she clearly had. "I am NOT getting serious. Anyway, you did meet her once." You mean that time at your apartment a few weeks ago? That was hardly meeting her - I only saw her for a minute when I was on my way out.

You too Hank."My Mom looked at me sternly as she dumped some lettuce into a big salad bowl. "I'll take that as a promise." But there was a twinkle in her eye as she said it..

That they had eyes only for each. The room took up most of the space on the upper level of the Galactic Capitol. It could easily sit 1,000 or maybe twice that standing. “John there’s your thrown.” Vid pointed to an ornate gold chair with red cushions.“If I am going to sit here, I will need another seat next to mine for my Empress. I will need hundreds of seats for my family and friends.” John wondered if this was a dream or the beginning of a nightmare. The air was clean. Did not smell of a nest of rats like that hallway. John.
