to the table and release her from this torture.

"So, which one's your cousin?" Mr. # Seven asked looking behind Nicole as if to help her find her cousin.

"That's her right there talking to Grizzly Adams. A poor man's Pamela Anderson but no one seems to mind," she said hoping she didn't sound too bitter. Certainly the Adonis would make a bee line to her now that he saw her. She realized just then that this was her opportunity to actually do one of the wing girl's duties. "You want me to introduce you? It's my job, you know, as I'm the dreaded wing girl and all that it entails."

"I never did get that wing people thing. Makes me think of angels and..." he leaned towards her to whisper conspiratorially. "There ain't no angels around here."

She couldn't help laughing but quickly stopped when he stared at her again with a huge smile on his face. "You should do that more often. Smiling becomes you."

"We don't get on very well, no. I'm one of those from which she's stolen a boyfriend or five." She had made him laugh again. "She's an entity onto herself."

"You must have something in common. You are here together," he insisted.

Nicole pondered this for a moment and her conclusion was, "Besides our family, only the mutual lack of the Y-chromosome though I must admit she's made better use of that particular handicap." She had done it again. He was laughing."It wasn't for lack of trying, to try to get out of this, I mean, but for whatever reason,
