Much better than the Ice Queen act... "I see you kept my Lilies." "Not really. I'm going to drop them off at the Children's Hospital on the way home." "That's a nice gesture." "Although I think they would look wonderful against your bare skin.", he added in a husky voice. Adrienne sighed. "Look Garett", she said slowly. "Its late and I'm very tired. I've also got a lot of work to finish before I can leave." "I happen to know this wonderful Chinese restaurant around the corner. We'll feed our faces and then you can come back to work on this stuff all night." She didn't answer. "That or I chain myself to this table and drive you nuts for weeks."

"Anything to save myself from that.", she quipped. "Lets go. I'm starved." ---------------------------------------- Denver - March 12, 1993 "Garett Rate to see you. |
