She needed band for extra school credits.
Pointing, Mr. Cohen said, “Pick out a clarinet. I’ll get a new mouthpiece.”
Her friend Dominique teased her about the cute boy near the instruments.
“Stop! He’s probably dating.”
“Nope, I heard he’s not. Besides, he’s looking at you.”
“From who? Is he?”
“I have my sources.”
“Well, I’m not interested.”
“I have my clarinet; see you inside.”
As Dominique passed the boy, she winked and gave him the okay sign.
“Need some help,” he said approaching her.
“No, I do not,” curtly, while dying inside.
‘Oh, those luscious chocolate eyes are yummy.’

Is that your maiden name?
Her husband-to-be is a Dallas, Texas boy. He loves to call himself a hillbilly. LOL They live in South Carolina.

Yes, here in Quebec, we are not even allowed to change names! If I did, I’d be a MacIsaac and that’s not a fun name to sign 😉
Hillbilly! Oh lordy… To think it is a fine Scottish name coming from the Scottish highlands!

An interesting interlude… leaves me wanting more. I want to see this girl turn into a genius clarinet player who marries the maestro boy. Well done. 🙂

I wonder if she will live to regret that curt rejoinder. Some boys just don’t come back a second time.
