Michael stuck his nose in the air. “Mr. Lime is just… Mr. Lime.”
A little girl quickly piped up. “I get it. I totally understand you, Michael. Everything Michael says is right ‘cause he’s the cutest boy ever.”
Another girl, not wanting to be left out, jumped in. “When Michael says Mr. Lime, he probably means like a fancy sweet shop or something.”
Yet another grabbed Michael’s hand boldly. “My house has tons of snacks. Come over, Michael. You can have all my cookies.”
Michael gently pulled his hand away and explained with big gestures, “No, it’s not a food store, Mr. Lime is a really, really cool guy.”

“Nope, just here with Sherry,” Teresa cut in smoothly, nodding towards Sherry and Michael, who were a little ways off.
“I seriously–” Teresa fumbled, wishing Benny would just vanish. ‘What on earth is he doing here anyway?‘ she thought.
At “distinguished guests,” it clicked for Teresa. Benny shrugged. “I’m just here filling in for my uncle. Never thought I’d run into you. So, you really do have someone new? Should I let Jonathan know you’re here?”
“No, no. Don’t tell him,” Teresa blurted out.
