We have only just met, after all, but I’ve got to tell you, Sam. You’ve impressed the hell out of me so far. I think pretty highly of Mr. Sam No-L...st-Name-Yet. Have I managed to piss you off?”Sam shook his head and said, “No, well, maybe just a bit. Don’t sweat it though. I can’t blame you for being cautious. So were you watching the stairs then?” I replied, “No, I figured if you were gone when I got back I would have my answer.”He asked, “You really don’t care about this money?” while patting. So, of course, in making the final assembly, the short bolts were, well, too short.“Fucking Chinese instructions,” Murph cursed.We pulled everything apart, and started again, this time making sure that when we used a bolt to assemble two parts, the bolt was ‘barely long enough’ to join the parts. When it was completed, we checked that it was solid, the side opened as it was meant to, and then tightened every bolt. A job well done, even if it took two attempts.Mid-afternoon, I called Paul and. We gaze at each other, she with her amazing smile and me with what must have been a look of incredulity.After an eternity, she whispers, "You may kiss me if you want to."I gasp and my body flushes with excitement, then I remember the girlfriend. I pull away from her a little and say, "But you have a girlfriend." Yes I do, and she's wonderful," she replies, "and we have an open relationship, so it won't be a problem if you kiss me."I feel like I'm in a dream. This awesome woman wants me to kiss. " I think we all assumed that would sort itself out once we freed Jason," said Cassie. "I really feel bad about this." Ya can't think of everything. And face it, we kinda expect Melinda ta take care of herself." But only because she has a strong-willed older sister who could guide her. I have to warn Diane. She's going to have to be the one to stop Heather from following through." Yer likely gonna hafta call her yerself, since I gotta stay at school until Miss Haven Sunshine delivers the goods..
