Cindy called me this morning to confess." Looking at me again she asked, "What did Sue look like?" She was beautiful." I looked at Jenn. "Actually, sh... looked a lot like you." But pretty." Jenn, you're beautiful. Quit it. I don't like false modesty." I watched her face and realized she didn't think she was pretty. "You don't think you're pretty do you?"She glanced down at her chest which admittedly didn't create much of an impression on her T-shirt. "No. Boys think someone like Brittany Spears. "Or are we going to have some fun together today?" I'm not in the mood, Matthew," he snaps, slapping my hand away. "Just go and fuck Selena instead."He walks off, slamming the door behind him, leaving his food and coffee untouched. An awkward silence fills the room. Is he this pissed off over a shirt? Or is this still over our disagreement last night?"Umm, I'm not the only one noticing he's in a terrible mood am I?" I laugh."Yeah, you're definitely not imagining it. Do you think he heard us. He stepped out into the center of the Great Hall."Young Michael," said Sir Karl."My lord, I present Annette, daughter of Isaac, wife of Joseph. Thy serf in the village of Montant. She has accepted the baby Catherine, daughter of the prisoner." Very well, Michael. Annette, doth thy husband agree with this." Yes, my lord. Our only question was whether the babe would suck." Very well. Father David, record that she has accepted the babe. Heinrich, make sure that a cartload of firewood is delivered. Make me laugh out loud and I’ll have dinner with you.” The bartender and a few of the men overheard this, and the area around the bar got very quiet, waiting to hear what I would say. Now, I make people laugh for a living, but I had never been put on the spot like this. “Be Funny”, every comedian’s nightmare. So… I smiled at her. That’s all. I just grinned. And as I had hoped, it was infectious. Her stern veneer cracked and she smiled broadly. We clinked our glasses together and drank. .
