Maybe I was subconsciously trying to divert Amy’s attention from you, Coldfire. I think it is your destiny to marry her.
Soon, you’ll be calling Wally ‘Dad’.
::from north, sound of Wally’s voice – ‘Amy, get away from the computer! Don’t look at the screen! Don’t look back!!’:: ::Amy’s voice trailing off: ‘Coldfire!’::
Amy, the next time ol’ dad’s a little strict with you, just log on, do a search for “Wally” and, bingo…instant leverage.
You’re welcome. (By now, I’m sure you’ve long since used up the old “Ask your parents for anything when they’re on the phone trick.” I got away with it 3 times or so when I was 13. “Mom, can I have 40 bucks to bucks to smoke some pot?” Shoulda saved it for later, for more important things.)
