He was answering a co-worker. She walked into the area. His answers were for her to hear. The conversation was loose enough the answers served dual conversations. The eavesdroppers feasted on red herring. Outwit a dimwit you don't get a prize. Sometimes people can admit defeat, most of the time that isn't the case.
Either way it didn't matter. The relationship had deepened. The solid foundation set. Playing with this much power is not an option. Playing to the cheap seats doesn't work without the proper audience. A person with something to loose will defend their territory. It was a thin line. She was reminded her life was easily extinguished by an accident. When the guy who makes it his business to know walked by singing Oh My Darling using her name.
It's not what you think it's what you believe. Patricia '96
