Debra panicked, thinking he was about to start something again. She wasn't sure she could handle another round of his endless energy.

"Don't ever say something so unlucky again."

Debra quickly wriggled free from Marion's embrace.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Edgar's secretary is waiting for you in the lobby. He mentioned an appointment."

"Alright, I'll be down in a minute."

She hadn't expected Chace to find her so soon.

Standing on tiptoe, she playfully pinched Marion's cheek. "Go get me some toothpaste. I've got work to do."
