A moment later she was inside, pushing past him, talking a blue streak.}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93What kind of cookies does Mrs. Miller have?\u8221\'94 she said as she opened the cabinet door and grabbed the canister. \u8220\'93I\u8217\'92m glad you\u8217\'92re awake.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93I wasn\u8217\'92t until you called.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93It\u8217\'92s your fault that I couldn\u8217\'92t sleep. Are these raisin filled, or apricot?\u8221\'94 She bit into one and closed her eyes. \u8220\'93Raisin! I can\u8217\'92t believe you didn\u8217\'92t tell me, or better yet bring me some. These are my favorite.\u8221\'94 She frowned. \u8220\'93Except maybe the lemon ones. Or those pecan squares.\u8221\'94 She took another bite and, mouth full, asked, \u8220\'93How do you live here and not weigh four hundred pounds?\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93I don\u8217\'92t eat the cookies.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93Yeah, well, more for me.\u8221\'94 She looked him up and down, taking in his plain blue gym shorts and t-shirt. \u8220\'93Is that what you sleep in? Boring. At least you should have something on your shirt, a rock band or the Steelers or something.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93I\u8217\'92m more of a Pens and Pirates guy, but those logos are scratchy. Anyway, nobody sees me at night. And you\u8217\'92re one to talk. What are those, flannel jammies?\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 She looked down at herself. \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93Merino wool, I\u8217\'92ll have you know. It\u8217\'92s all the rage for women of a certain age because it\u8217\'92s temperature regulating.\u8221\'94 She plucked at her shirt. \u8220\'93A little thin and clingy for going out in public, maybe, but you\u8217\'92re hardly public.\u8221\'94 She crossed to a different cabinet, took out a glass, and then went to the refrigerator for a pitcher of milk. With another little moan, eyes closed, she said, \u8220\'93Whole milk! I\u8217\'92ve almost forgotten what it\u8217\'92s like. Tim\u8217\'92s cholesterol is borderline, so we only buy skim. It\u8217\'92s blue.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93I assume you want to follow up on today\u8217\'92s briefing,\u8221\'94 he said.}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 The wolf\loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8217\'92s eyes flew open. \u8220\'93Duh! Big surprise, you wait two months after I\u8217\'92m sworn in, and then schedule a fifteen minute meeting to tell me there\u8217\'92s a challenge to the United States Constitution lurking in my county and ask me to ignore it.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93Your clerk would only give me fifteen minutes,\u8221\'94 he said.}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93Well, maybe you should have told him more than, \u8216\'91a quick greeting from an old friend.\u8217\'92\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93Sorry about that, but the whole point is that they want to stay off the radar. Everybody\u8217\'92s radar.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93So why tell me at all?\u8221\'94 She carried the milk and cookies to the table and sat down. \u8220\'93No, I guess I get that: Because sooner or later something tangentially related is likely to come before my court.\u8221\'94}
\par\plain {\f0\fs24\b0\i0 He sat across from her. \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\af0\uc1\u8220\'93Yeah. Although they haven\u8217\'92t for the last decade or so. It used to happen more often. Better you know up front.\u8221\'94}}
