Debbie

The terry-clothed Lou was struck dumb as he found his boss/crush standing in his doorway, and him...without his most prized possession. He tried to walk back his tone, but it was obvious she didn't care. Before he could utter a single sound, she cut right to it.

"Hi Lou, I'm sorry to do this to you on such short notice. I have a quick favor to ask." Debbie clasped her hands in front of her, a gesture Lou was familiar with when she asked others to do something important.

Now she looked at him as if her world would crumble if he didn't step in (or at least that's how he inflated it in his mind). So, instead of thinking of any possible problems, he simply smiled and said...

"Of course! What is it?"
