“You know I’ll pay for any damage.”“And you know we wouldn’t let you. Troy says there’s drone bits on the roof. He was going to try to pre...ssure-hose them off when it stops raining. And that actually sounds kind of like a fun thing to do, like that carnival game where you shoot the squirt gun into the clown’s mouth to pop the balloon. So I told him to wait for me; but once it’s dry, if you want to send an Ultimado on a dangerous covert mission up a ladder to get the ones we can’t hose off, that. . you're with Ron..." An open implication but non-specific."But he's only with me to make Katie jealous." He's still got a thing for her?"I hadn't talked to Ron about it but I had noticed he'd been a little pissy around me lately."Yeah, that's why Katie wanted to dance with him ... to tell him it was over, for good." Oh..." That's going to screw up the rest of my night, probably." Cyndy's expression said she expected that. "But, hey ... you never know, right?"I agreed with her without being. "that’s right, we open for business next weekend. I already haveclients booked out for 2 months and I may end up having to buy the localbed and breakfast just to keep up." I paused for dramatic effect. "And,I'll need my creative design consultant." I stuck out my manicured hand"Welcome to ECCC incorporated, partner!" Claire shook my hand, then drewme in for a big hug, her breasts pushing in against my own. I whisperedin her ear "Besides, now that you are scanned into the system, I can makeyou. "Do you think she would mind your being here?" "I don't think so, she knows I wouldn't play around." "No, what a waste. She sounds a bit domineering, doesn't that bother you?" "Like I said, she likes her own way." "And how could you, a mere man, deny her eh?" "That's about the size of it." I took our drinks over to the dinner table and Shelley brought in the food. The casserole was exceptional; it had a spicy flavour I couldn't quite identify. While it didn't burn the throat, it did make me.
