The Curse of the Towne Motel

You redialed, it was a girl this time and she was one of your friends.

"Hello?" she said.

"Sarah?" you asked.\

"Mikey!" she said exciditely," Where are you? You were supposed to be here 3 hours ago."

"I'm at the old 'Towne Motel'."

"Oh, the man who screamed on the phone had a heart attack."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Sure. But there is one thing I should've asked you many years ago in kindergarten when we first met..."

"What?"

"Do you want to go out with me?"

Sarah sniffed. "Yes."

You smiled. "Good."

"By the way," you continued," where are you anyway?"

"At Dan's house. His uncle's friend is visiting and he's a taxi driver for the summer."

"The guy who had the heart attack?"

"Yes."

"Well, bye Sarah, I love you."

"I love you too. Bye."

You hung up.

"Well,"said Clive,"I guess that went well. It's 9:00. Time for bed."

"I'm gonna sleep in the attic suite," you said,"Good night Clive."

"Good night." said Clive quietly.
