“It’s either a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer,” I tell her, not unkindly, but not offering any rooue

“Of course,” she says hastily “I mean… yes, the answer is yes ”

“Good Then I’ll see you and your associate attorney… What did you say her name was?”

“McKayla Dawson ”

“That’s right See you both on Monday… eight AM sharp And don’t be late ”

But no…

she doesn’t have the metaphorical balls to do it, and I like es I like a wooes after what she wants
