. yes I know a couple could be repeats... We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the “seniors’ special” was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and...toast for $1.99.“Sounds good,” my wife said. “But I don’t want the eggs.”“Then I’ll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you’re ordering a la carte,” the waitress warned her.“You mean I’d have to pay for not taking the eggs?” My wife asked incredulously. “I’ll take the special.”“How do you want your eggs?”“Raw and in the shell,”. That was the last thing I wanted to hear right now. With a tiny voice, I managed to ask, "Why... ?" Do you even listen, Adam? When a girl is upset, you comfort her. If Megan was avoiding you, that was a clear sign to approach her and make sure she was okay. This whole thing could have been avoided if you just showed a little kindness." She gave me a look of bitter disgust. "For once. Plus, if one girl blows you one week, don't get another girl to do something with you the next. It's common. Anne waited, heard the knock, listened for conversation, heard nothing and went into the hall and leaned over the railing. A door closed and then Phillipa was hurrying up the stairs."They wants you right now," she said, looking excited."Who is it?" Anne asked, going back in her room to find her shoes."A man, a man that's a calling on you. That's who it is. A pretty man. Yes'm." Tell him I said that I am not in, that I am not receiving. Ask him to leave his name." Oh no," cried Phillipa. "Uh uh.. ”She settled onto my lap, warm and soft, her hair like a dream.“Cully, hold me, I missed you. I thought about you so many times.”The hug was the tightest we’d had in some time. It was so peaceful, I could almost hear our hearts beating.Then a hissed whisper into my ear:“Cully, I heard that Miss is coming tonight. Is this true?”Girl would do it like that. Play it out hard, make it special like a third person was involved. And she’d see it thru if I met her at the point. She’d get into that frame.
