Page 76 of You Rock My World
Josie
Tomorrow night I have to take Penny trick-or-treating. I was thinking you could come… wearing a mask, so no one recognizes you
She wants me to be with her and her family. Even if it’s just to run around the streets collecting candy.
Dorian
Sure Penny won’t mind?
Josie
Are you sure *you* won’t mind?
Penny is relentless on Halloween
She’ll want to hit every house in the neighborhood
You’ll be begging to go home before she does
Dorian
I don’t scare easy
Josie
Also, prepare for sugar-related crimes
Dorian
Noted. Should I come armed with candy bribes or accept my fate?
Josie
Accept your fate. She’s going to wear us down then be high on sweets and impossible to put to bed
Dorian
Wow, you really know how to sell it. Total exhaustion and the risk of being held hostage by a tiny sugar gremlin
Josie
So a definitive yes?
Dorian
Yes. I have a high pain tolerance. And an even higher appreciation for short red dresses
What about tonight? What are you up to?
Josie
Just finishing Penny’s mermaid story on my tablet
Hopefully, it’ll help sedate her tomorrow night
Dorian
Could I tempt you with an adults-only night?
