Eric kept the same bored look. His voice was flat and even. "This isn't about what you want, Harry. I understand the position he puts you in, and you will do what you need to do, but he helped me by escorting Pam. She trusts him and knowing Pam, she will keep him in line if I ask. He offered to help, Harry. At his point, we cannot afford to turn him out based on reputation."
"It's you that makes it interesting," Pam smiled coyly as she drapped her arms over his shoulders. He took a second kiss. "I am so glad you came. Do you think you're friend will help? Will he be as interesting as you?"
