Hi Sue,
If this is what comes of you having a spare hour, I wish you had spare hours more often. Most enjoyable!
I especially liked:
“I think your being alive is present enough.”
and then this:
“You can consider it your present to me, if you’re still determined to give me something.”
WAFF indeed!
There’s some hanging up right now outside Perry’s office.
Then what are they doing walking *away from* the DP building?
She was suddenly nervous at the thought of kissing Clark. What had she eaten for lunch?
Since you asked about errors, I'll point out that 'was' should be 'way' in the following:
That was I can bring a new plant to work on January 1 and get started on ignoring it to death.”
Joy,
Lynn
