The Secret Pleasures Of Cassandra
Someone who did show up, however, was Neil.
He stood in the door, looking around the office. The bastard was looking for Cass!
"Where's the wife?" Neil asked in his rough voice, trying to act casual.
"She has a name. Cassandra. And she's in a meeting. Why?"
"Cassandra... What a beautiful name. Damn, you're one lucky guy," Neil chuckled.
"Thanks."
Neil shrugged his shoulders and went about his business. Instead of letting the conversation drag on, the notorious vacuum cleaner roared. I sighed and ate my lunch in... peace?
