Missing Heiress - Page 78/169

Bronco8881: What?

Sissy3211: Nicole doesn't come in until nine, but the rest of us are supposed to be there by eight. We are required to send Nicole an email every morning when we arrive, but Susan found a way to write hers the night before, and have the system send it the next morning at eight.

Bronco8881: That's funny. What time does she actually come in?

Sissy3211: Eight-thirty or so…if she feels like it. I would never be brave enough to do that.

Bronco8881: I bet you are rarely late to work.

Sissy3211: Only when the bus breaks down or there's a blizzard.

Bronco8881: You ride a bus?

Sissy3211: No silly, I push it to work.

Bronco8881: Sorry, stupid question.

Sissy3211: You are forgiven. You only ask because you're trying to figure out where I am. Well, I am being very careful not to tell you.

Bronco8881: I know. You're good at it.

Sissy3211: Thanks.

Bronco8881: Right now, I'm eating a boring dinner. What are you doing?

Sissy3211: I'm eating too. Just think, we're having our first dinner together.

Bronco8881: Somehow, I don't think that's what I had in mind. I'm more of the steak and candlelight kind of guy.

Sissy3211: Candlelight? You're trying to tempt me again.

Bronco8881: Is it working?

Sissy3211: A little.

Austin decided he better change the subject before she abruptly signed off.

Bronco8881: Did you go to the zoo?

Sissy3211: Didn't I tell you about that? We had a smashing good time. I so adore Jim and Hanna.

Bronco8881: See any horses?

Sissy3211: Not a one, just your ordinary elephants and zebras. I liked listening to the lions roar very much. You can hear them all over the zoo.

Bronco8881: We have some in our zoo too, and you are right, you can hear them for blocks. I wonder how that sounds in the jungle.

Sissy3211: You're not offering to take me to Africa, are you? I know you don't have that kind of money.

Bronco8881: I might be able to scrape up a few dollars, but I don't have that kind of time. Maybe when I am old.

Sissy3211: How old are you?

Bronco8881: I thought we weren't doing personal information

Sissy3211: Oh, that's right, I forgot for a moment.

Bronco8881: I finished college, if that helps.

Sissy3211: Lucky you, I want to go someday, but it can wait.

Bronco8881: What do you want to be?

Sissy3211: I haven't decided yet.

Bronco8881: Sometimes it's better to work for a while between high school and college.

Sissy3211: Then maybe I am more fortunate than I thought. Uh oh, have to go.
