She’s old enough to be my mom.”“Ben, Ben, Ben...” I said, shaking my head. “I bet Ari would do you if the money was right.”That earned me ... slug in the arm. I was saved when I was called onto the set to do my last scene.It was weird to hear Halle give me back almost line for line what I’d said to her earlier. I told Kitty I should get a writing credit for baring my soul and them pirating what I’d said. She told me she was all out of favors for me today.While I’d been doing my scene, Manaia had. Mike was in there, and he said he’d be over in just a minute. Two minutes later, there was a knock at the door.“Good afternoon, Mike. Thanks for coming over. I noticed you’d done the window and armor work while we were gone, I haven’t had time to thank you for that.”“Don’t worry about that, Mister Lewis. You paid for it.” At my look, he said, “Okay. Cal. Sorry, I’m not used to being this close to my principal. Or having half of my staff tell me that if they don’t get to continue protecting you. This will be difficult," I said."Invite her to spend Easter vacation with us," my wife suggested. "Do not do anything sexually evocative unless she takes the initiative." That is the best we can do," I admitted, "but I do not want some boy in school to be in first." He won't be. Your sister wants her first time to be perfect. I will help you achieve that." Yours is a good idea," I told my wife. "Even if nothing sexual develops I want to create a bond with the sister I neglected while she was. Come on, Charlie, come on!"She and he were not exactly friends, more like rivals. Katie, as a young and up and coming journalist was quicker at getting on to stories than the older and pedestrian Ford, who spent far too much time in bars and not enough time out where the real news was to be found. It must also be said that she had a far more winning manner, with her quick mind and stunning good looks. She guessed he did not like being outclassed by her and might just find this situation rather.
