even been a time - sheтАЩd forgotten until this moment - when sheтАЩd imagined
she would grow up to marry someone just like the BeaverтАЩs father. As the
old memories came back she began to thaw, and as she took the first
warming swallow of Scotch she turned a genuine smile on the man in front
of her. Maybe he really had come in response to an unarticulated wish, to fill
her subconscious desire.

тАШSit down, why donтАЩt you. Make yourself comfortable.тАЩ

He fidgeted and tossed back his drink. тАШMmm, strong stuff!тАЩ He turned
away to set down his glass and then yawned exaggeratedly, balling his fists
and stretching his arms out at his sides. тАШMan, oh, man, am I tired! That city
really takes it out of you. Think I might just get ready . . .тАЩ His voice trailed off
as he went into the bedroom.

Gina smiled after him, feeling a definite spark of interest. тАШYes, dear,
why donтАЩt you get ready for bed, and IтАЩll join you.тАЩ

There was a shout and Ward reappeared, glaring. тАШWhat did you do
with the beds, for PeteтАЩs sake?тАЩ

тАШWhat?тАЩ

тАШThe beds! ThereтАЩs only one bed in there!тАЩ

тАШOne thatтАЩs big enough for two.тАЩ She smirked.

тАШBut we always - you know I canтАЩt - you always say you canтАЩt sleep with
anybody else in the same bed.тАЩ

тАШI donтАЩt always say that. Do I always say that? Well, maybe I donтАЩt feel
like sleeping tonight.тАЩ She was enjoying herself.

Ward was definitely sweating. SheтАЩd seen that look on his face
before, when his high-heeled, aproned, screen wife ran mental circles
around him.

тАШIтАЩve got to get some sleep tonight because. . . because IтАЩve got a
meeting, yes thatтАЩs right, a meeting, very important, in the office, first thing
tomorrow morning.тАЩ

Gina shrugged. тАШWell, IтАЩm sorry. But thereтАЩs nothing I can do. I only
have one bed, as you can see . . . honey. Unless you want to check into a
hotel.тАЩ

тАШOh, no, no, no need for that... IтАЩll sleep on the couch!тАЩ

тАШYou canтАЩt sleep on the couch. ItтАЩs not even big enough for me to
sleep on. YouтАЩre way too tall. YouтАЩd put your back out even trying.тАЩ
