Emily was thoughtful for a while, then said "So, it's you or the counsellors, huh?"Claire nodded rather uncertainly. Emily moved to sit next to Claire...and hugged her warmly. "That's no choice at all. Aren't you afraid I might be a hopeless case?" Not a chance," Claire declared, her confidence back in force. "Uh, I didn't mean any offense to your mother." Oh, I understand. I really haven't been able to talk to her about ... everything." Don't you have a good relationship with her?"

What's on the other side of this wall?"She led me to a closet with, lo and behold, an access panel. "I take it that helps," she said in response to my smile."It's probably the only good news I've had today, other than you are the hottest woman in Swindon." You are hotter."

My thoughts are pretty much on one track at this point and I don't know how much more I can take without acting on them.(Jessica)"Do you mind squeezing the back of my neck a little? It's really stiff from standing and presenting all day." My neck is killing me, along with the area between my shoulder blades. Some pressure should help as long as he's not in too much of a hurry to go to bed.(Dylan)Oh no. "Sure." This has to be an evil joke on me. I lift her hair a little so I can get my hand.
