DRAKE: Kate, I'reat No headache I'm totally chill, brah

KATE: Brah??? Have you been talking to Jules? :)

DRAKE: No, actually Just a dude as in the waiting rooht before I went into the ADA's office and that I was nervous He said, 'You look totally chill, brah'

KATE: OMG, that's a keeper I' to use that the next tiht it was Bro

DRAKE: Bro is so GenX Get with it This is the new Millennium It's brah

KATE: Guilty as charged I'll see you when you get home We can have lunch and relax, whatever happens I still want Karen to take Sophie out so you can rest all afternoon

DRAKE: If she can't, no problem I'm fine Really, Kate

KATE: Okay See you soon I love you

DRAKE: I love you, too

I put my cell away and tried to push my worries about Drake into the back offor Karen to call me back with her answer

Finally, about fifteen minutes later, she did

"Hi, Kate I got your e," she said "I can take Sophie, no problem I'll coh the park before putting her down for a nap at my place if that works for you Poor Drake"

"I know," I said,that Drake could spend the afternoon alone "He says he's okay, but he's such a stoic and rarely lets anything show, but I know this is really upsetting to hih price"

"Well, don't you worry about it I'll be happy to take Sophie so you can go to the studio and Drake can rest His testiht?"

I sighed "Yes, unfortunately But at least once it's done, we can move on"
