I sat in a cab, upset and horny After Chuck's failure to launch, I needed a wars, pronto Four days with the Fiery Boys certainly hadn't gotten , and mercifully, it was Jo I wasn't sure what I would say to her, but I was glad for a friendly voice I took the call "Hi What's happening?"

Jo laughed "Uh, no That's supposed to be , I'"

"Don't" She'd love to hear what just went on, but I couldn't tell her
