DAMSEL MEETS DANGER
“Look, why don't you laugh all the way to the old man? Tell him everything I've said. Surely, he can get any other woman in the world. He doesn't need a sick, dying one.”
He stopped laughing abruptly, and when he looked at me again, there wasn't a trace of warmth, or a crack of smile in his eyes.
“What if he doesn't want any other woman, but you?”
“Yeah right. I doubt that's true. There are women younger than me. I'm twentysix. Don't let my youthful appearance fool you. Since he's a cre,” I swallowed the insult, and swiftly restrategized. “Since he's an older man who prefers women of younger appeal, he'll definitely want to hear this information. Hurry up, and tell him okay?”
