Very tanned. And it wasn't stopping. His skin darkened past tan to light coffee and onward to a dark coffee color. His hair, short and straight and bl...onde, began to sprout even as it darkened to match his skin, winding and kinking into tight little curls. Tommy's lips swelled, growing large and full, while his nose flattened a bit. His cheeks seemed to push up and out, while his forehead receded ever so slightly.Brian tore his gaze from Tommy's face, and he suppressed a scream. On Tommy's. I get along well enough with Stevens, too. Once your posting here is over..." You are asking whether I'd keep you in my employ?"Libby nodded."I am well pleased with your work, Libby. Once my posting at Salcombe ends, I shall in all likelihood live at my Berkshire estate. I don't have any staff there yet. I should like nothing better than for you to be my housekeeper there. Does that answer your question?" Indeed, sir. It does. Thank you, sir. I would love to get away from here." Perhaps you can. "This is Dan," I answered."Dan, this is Jim Hardesty. From school." Yeah, Jim. That's what my caller ID said. What's up?" Did I catch you at a bad time?" No, I'm good." I was wondering if you wanted to come over this evening for supper. I'm doin' ribs on the barbecue." That'd be great. But there's one thing..." What's that?" I have Cindy with me today. Promised her that I'd bring her to the mall. We'll be finished in plenty of time, but can she come along?" Hey, sure! That's great! See ya'll. Thankfully I had just enough time to make a quick pit stop at the local convenient store for a candy bar and a soda. Yeah I know it's a horrible excuse for a breakfast, but ha when you're in a pinch it is definitely better than nothing. As I got to the display, and was about to reach for my usual Snickers bar, a brightly colored package caught my eye. I hadn't seen this particular item in years, and remembered my mother buying it for me as a small child. Feeling nostalgic, I added a package to.
