&quot;So…&quot; I prompted. Cindy Lou sighed. &quot;I went into the program like I said, for the reasons that I said. But…when I saw you come into the restaurant, I couldn't resist. The chance to be so near you all the time, without having to admit…well, it was too good to pass up.&quot; &quot;And all the stuff about staying in for a whole month?&quot; &quot;I thought I'd let you…get used to me for a while. So you'd be more likely to let me stay.&quot; &quot;And you still want to stay, even now?&quot; &quot;Well—yes.&quot; &quot;Why? I'm sure you could find someone else you'd be just as suited to.&quot; &quot;Well—I _like_ you. You're comfortable. And you really _do_ need my help, you've got the beginning of an ulcer that I can help take care of.&quot; &quot;Yeah, well, the markets _suck_ right now,&quot; I mumbled. &quot;Please let me stay?&quot; She looked up. &quot;I'll do anything. Even—&quot; She looked at the bed. I saw where she was looking. &quot;No, not that. Not if you're thinking _quid pro quo._ Then it doesn't mean anything.&quot; &quot;Then what?&quot; I shook my head and turned away. &quot;I need to think it over.&quot; 2008-04-01T04:33:32Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/26389 <p>Wow.
