     I was hoping maybe, hopefully,    
that Pee Wee would forget, and she     
wouldn't be there. Not because I didn't
want her to be there, but because she  
was still my arch-enemy.               
     So, I just decided to let Pee Wee 
decide for me, and I knew I was taking 
the wussy way out, but I didn't care.  
If he brought her, fine, but if he     
didn't, that would be fine also. Either
way would be fine, except I really     
wanted her to be there.                
     I pulled up in front of the house 
and wondered where Beth’s car was.     
     I went in and while admiring a    
couple new pieces of furniture in the  
living room, Beth came in and kissed   
me.                                    
     She didn't want to talk about the 
new furniture or what happened this    
morning. Instead, she wanted to know   
what I’d learned from the Cat, but     
first I had to ask why she didn't      
answer her phone.                      
     “Oh, I'm sorry, hon. I was in the 
middle of registering for a class. You 
know how it is. Sometimes our internet 
sucks, and it was taking forever for   
pages to load, so I went down to the   
college. With all the noise, I guess I 
didn’t hear the phone.                 
     “Oh my God! I hope Barry didn’t   
call,” she said and pulled it out to   
check.                                 
     “I did cook you an awesome dinner,
just like I promised,” she said while  
doing that, and then started pulling   
things out of the refrigerator.        
     “So, you registered?” I asked     
while watching her quick heat          
everything.                            
     “Yup, but I didn't want to go full
load right out of the box, and regis-  
tered for just one, Intro to Animal    
Biology and Physiology.”               
     “Very appropriate,” I said, “but  
didn’t you already take that one?”     
     “I did, but I could use a         
refresher, and besides, I can also     
audit it now, and that's what I'm going
to do for the next couple days,” she   
said really fast, like she was fast-   
forwarding to the good part.           
     “Now! Tell me what the hell       
happened today!”                       
     I did, and she had a lot of       
questions, especially about the money, 
but I said, “No, we have to talk about 
what happened this morning first.”     
     “Are you having second thoughts?” 
she asked and put a plate in front of  
me and another one right across the    
table.
