Free Period for Teachers -- Monday, October 24th

Sarah sprawls across the couch, a thick notebook in her lap. She keeps looking down at it and staring hard as if she's trying to bore holes through the paper through force of will, then letting her head fall against the back of the couch and making a strange growling sound.

There's an Italian buffet for anyone who wants something to eat.

Adam? [she blushes slightly] That reminds me, I have something for him. My plans tonight consist of going for a drive, and then maybe catching up on some reading. Nothing too exciting. I hope you have a nice time with your...acquaintance. Where will you be dining?

[He notices and smirks for half a second.] Aye, the librarian. I trust you know him?

Just at home...unless she has other plans, of course. If that were so, I plan on doing some reading myself.

But of course. Adam is my tenant, and I'd like to think he's my friend. [she sips her coffee and looks at him for a moment] What would a man such as yourself be reading in lieu of dinner?

The Complete Works of Nora Ephron, because I'm apparently not sensitive enough to like chick flicks. Probably some of MFK Fisher's work--her writing on food is a meal enough itself.

What were you planning on reading?

I'm working my way through Alexis DeToqueville's Democracy in America for perhaps the seventh time. It's a wonderful book. I'm certain I'm keeping you, sir. Please, don't feel compelled to chit chat. I'm sure you are a sexy passionate incredibly sensitve without having to watch chick flicks busy man.

Ah yes, I met de Toqueville, a very long time ago. A fascinating man, brilliant.

[He smiles at her.] I won't keep you either, Ms Cregg. Have a lovely day.
