... right where our clothes from last night are,” Emily laughed. **** Alan woke up, a vision of the beautiful redhead from the day before still drifting through his mind, an echo of the dream from which he’d just awakened. Shaking his head and laughing, Alan got out of bed and headed for the shower. I haven’t been this silly over a woman since I was in high school. I must be out of my mind. Alan jumped into the shower, anxious to be back at Kline campaign headquarters as quickly as possible. **** Clarence flew in behind the two women as they entered the building, having already checked on Alan and found him coming here of his own accord. He sighed when they ducked behind a partition for a quick kiss before going to their work for the day. Maybe they’re all right. If I don’t get it right this time, I’m going to go turn myself in for panda duty, no questions asked. I am a miserable excuse for a cupid. Maybe I should just turn in my bow and retire. Sighing again, Clarence settled in atop a cabinet, nocked an arrow and sat with slumped shoulders and drooping wings, waiting for Alan to arrive. **** Pointing through the cracked doorway of her office, Andra asked Emily, “Who’s that?” Emily smiled and said, “Oh, Dreamy? He’s a writer, and he wanted to know more about how things worked around here for something he’s writing. He volunteered to help out while he looked around, and I wasn’t going to turn that down.

Andra nodded and twitched her eyebrows. “Wonderful benefits, I might add.” Leaning in, Emily whispered, “Don’t worry. No man is going to keep me away from you. It’s been too long since I was with a woman I really liked. Especially one who can make me come as hard as you did.” Emily then walked over toward the door, “I’ll introduce you. He should meet the captain of the ship if he’s going to be helping out around here.” Emily waved to Alan to get his attention, and then gestured for him to come in the office. Alan’s heart skipped a beat. If that was the redhead’s office, he might be getting his chance to talk to her sooner than expected. With a nod and a wide smile, he briskly walked toward the door. Clarence leapt from his perch. Last chance, Clarence, he thought, Make it count! Flying into the room, he quickly took aim. They were both here, within a few feet of each other. Since his arrow had already hit Alan, the proximity of Andra being struck as well should start the magic working immediately, and without chance for failure. He just had to hit his target.
