"It is Spellblaster," he whispered to me, "Somehow I knew it. It looks like he finally found the rare item he wanted." I guess we have to get that swo...d away from him," I replied, "If that is the cause of this." But how?" Not like this, hiding and watching," I said, "We need to get down there."I slid out of the tunnel's mouth, which had narrowed to a few feet across, to a ledge below the entrance. Working my way down the ledge, I tried to get within leaping distance of Spellblaster, who seemed. I know, terribly old fashioned and out of date. I wanted a man who would look out for me, make the hard decisions, surround me with love. Like I was ever gonna find someone like that. I determined to drown my sorrows. My friends knew I had been dumped and were supportive, but I saw the looks they gave each other when they thought I wasn’t looking. Loser. It may as well been tattooed on my forehead. The jukebox started up, and my friends got asked to dance. No one asked me, I guess one look at. But, her night with Alvin was on her mind, too."In that case, Señora, I think we are done for the day," he said after a few finishing passes with the rolling pin.Gloria realized that she had, indeed, disappointed him. She so seldom refused him, but Raul was a man, after all, so she knew that once a man became infused with certain expectations, rejections were not taken lightly. It was true of any man, and Raul, although an employee, was included. It was she, after all, who always admonished her. More than that though, he was worried about her since that morning. In histiredness he'd gone to the bathroom for a shower, only to see the redtemptress in all her nude glory. In his defence it was an accident, buthis cheek still stung from just thinking about the incident. The fact shehadn't spoken to him since then despite his efforts did make himconcerned. Sure she'd be angry at him on many occasions and called him apervert, but she'd never gone this long without talking to him.Of course he.
