CAN YOU USE AN EARRING AS A LIP RING. CAN YOU USE AN EARRING

Mrs. M (reverently): “I swear, everything Yuri makes tastes like a little bit of heaven. *nibbles on a crab puff* If I spent any more time around her cookin’, I’d be as big as a barn.”

Kumi: “Wait until you see what she comes up with for the wedding reception. It’s going to be orgasmic.”

Mrs. M: “I have no doubt. She is an amazing woman. Lukas couldn’t have done me prouder in his choice of a wife.”

Kumi (bluntly): “If that’s the way you feel, Mrs. M, then why don’t you two get on better, because I know Yuri respects the hell outta you, too?”

Mrs. M (thoughtfully): “Hmm, well, I don’t know if Yuri and I don’t get along so much as we just don’t know how to be comfortable with one another. We both love Lukas and, as much as we know it’s selfish, on some level, we both want him to be exclusively ours…and the other one knows it.”

Kumi: *mulls it over* “Yeah, okay, I get that, but do you feel the same way about Candy marrying Danny?”

Mrs. M: “No. Candy is like my own child. I know her and love her as much as my boys. Also…I suppose I’ve had a long time to get used to the idea of Danny and Candy together. I could see as early as grade school where that relationship was headed.”

Kumi: “Really? It was a complete shock to Luke.”

Mrs. M: *affectionate smile* “Lukas has many strong suits, sugah, but deciphering complex human emotions is not one of them. He’s like his daddy in that way—takes everything at face value until you tell him otherwise, though Yuri has helped him improve in that area as well.”

Kumi: “So, I guess Danny’s more like you, then? He’s better at the touchy feely crap, and that’s doubly true when he’s with Can.”

Mrs. M: “I reckon that’s a fair assessment, yes. I know Danny believes we favor Lukas over him, but that’s never been true. Danny’s more headstrong than Luke, so we had to be harder on him to keep him in line. We’ve always been proud of Daniel. He was a good boy, and now he’s a fine man.”

Kumi: “Yeah, he is a pretty decent dude, when he’s not being an ass…*winces* No offense.”

Mrs. M: *laughs* “None taken. Now if only I could make him take out those beastly piercings and stop bleaching out his beautiful hair…”

Kumi: *snickers* “So, could you really tell Dan and Can were going to get hitched back when they were kids?”

Mrs. M: “I had my suspicions. Danny was always different with her, more protective and attentive. I assume you know what kind of life Candy and her brother, Dylan, had with their mother,*lips twist in disgust* and I suppose it’s un-Christian of me to say so, but I never did like that woman. She’s a selfish, negligent bitch.”

Kumi (grimly): “Agreed. Can doesn’t really talk about that stuff much, though.”

Mrs. M: “No, she never did care to discuss it. I think Danny knows the most, which is one reason he’s so protective of her. In fact, the only time he was ever suspended from school was for fighting to defend Candy.”

Yuri: *walks up, leans against Kumi* “As a modern woman, I should be appalled at the idea of a man resorting to violence to defend his lady’s honor, but, in certain cases, I still think it is exceedingly heroic.”

Simon (diplomatically): “Ah, I think it’d be best if you let Dane see after her for now. You can apologize tomorrow…after we work out exactly what you should say and make you memorize it.”

Kumi (wryly): “Your confidence in my abilities to make the situation worse is duly noted and, sadly, well deserved.”

Simon: *slides his hands from her back to lower parts of her anatomy and squeezes* “I didn’t marry you for your tact, pet. I happen to like your big, smart mouth, but then I’ve experienced what it can do besides talk.”

Kumi: *gaze centers on Simon’s wickedly curled lips* “Yeah?”

Simon: “Yeah, so why don’t you try using it for good instead of evil and give us a kiss?”

Kumi: *pulls him close and, for once in her life, does exactly as she’s told*
