Makin' Whoopee
“For two years she had been anticipating what had just taken place in the lounge. And for two years she had told herself if it ever happened she would be able to handle it. She should have known better. From the moment she had first set eyes on Charlie, she should have known better.
On that night, over two years ago, she had been sitting at a narrow desk in a classroom. She was staring at the huge red ears of the man in front of her and holding herself separate from the buzz of students' voi...ces as she fought nervousness.

She needed something more challenging, a career that would force her to use her own drive and cunning.
