The glass glimmered with reflected comic glow and Meredith turned away from it to glance at the simple array of buttons and dials that oscillated quietly behind them. “Don’t get me wrong, Row,” she said, rhyming the nickname with ‘now’, “I’m an avid admirer of most things Godly, but right now I have and urge to… lick myself… and, well…” She turned her tiny head back up towards Rouston. “I’d rather not.”

“To tomorrow, then?”

“Will I be a cat then?”

“Not funny,” she literally growled.

“Yes. It was.”
