"Okay, I won't cheat again!" Monty cried, wriggling harder until Sarah put him down.
"You will now become my apprentice and learn the ways of the Dark Side," she intoned. Apparently this plan was a hit, as Monty let out a whoop of glee and began making lightsaber noises as he slashed the air. Expecting to pick up the game and go find Simon, she turned almost completely around because her charge had shot in the direction of the woman on the couch.
"Grandma!"
Oh, hell.
She hadn't even been at this a half-hour and she had managed to walk right into breaking one of the rules – the biggest rule, by all accounts. Oh, this was just fantastic. Only not.
Showing Angela his lightsaber, Monty grinned. "Do you want to join the Dark Side? Sarah has more!"
It took every single ounce of control for Sarah not to burst out laughing in that sort of laughter that came at unexpected, inappropriate moments that really shouldn't have been funny – such as now.
