"Toby glanced up at the waitress, but kept his attention on Darlene. "I'd like another Guinness and bring a Miller Lite for the lady, please." Toby ca...tured both of Darlene's hands in his left hand, and only allowed one of them to escape. "Tell me what you've been up to since the sorority party. It's been what, almost a month? You were telling me about a fascinating experiment you were about to try with a plasma beam."Darlene fidgeted and shrugged, "We were able to sustain a deuterium-deuterium. ." she suddenly stopped.It hit her all at once, like a ton of bricks!Her father-in-law's eyes flashed with a devilish glint.He knew!And she knew!The man in the alcove had answered to the name Michael last night!
