Success? She might laugh if she knew that's what he's been thinking about them. I lied to my husband about how my appointment went, and how tender my joints really are... but maybe he knows. He always seems to have a way of knowing. But with everything going on this month and next, he'll forgive her for it, won't he? And she knows she shouldn't be here with his alternate unchaperoned, not after the last run-in they'd had. And however unattractive she's felt this week, the attention he seems to give her because he can -- and isn't obligated to do -- is very welcome.
"I don't approve because I care about what happens to you. Both of you." Wow, did she just sound like a mom or what?
