Ah . . . Ah'm sorry. Really ah am. Ah was just happy. . .

Well, I'm glad that you are happy. Truly I am.

Butcha mad at me, ain't ya? Ah made ah mistake, one person ain't gonna matter is it?

I'm not mad at you, although you did promise me that you wouldn't say anything. I am, however, frustrated with the person you told. I do not appreciate being threatened.

Ah am just failin' all over de place dis mornin' ain't ah? *Frowns deeply.* She threatened ya? Why did she do dat?

I have no idea. She is your friend, you ask her. I am done dealing with the intolerable woman.

Ah'll tell her not to say nothin' no more. It's mah fault dis is happenin', ah'm real sorry, Agent Everton.

Ms Taggart, you don't need to apologize. It isn't your fault that people are busy bodies and nosy.

Ah shoulda kept ma mouth shut, ah didn't remember ma promise from last night. *Sighs deeply.* Ya ain't gonna trust me no more.

I don't hold you to blame, Dagny. I don't. You were drunk.

Dat ain't much of an excuse. Ah take responsibility for . . . ya know, so ah take responsibility for breakin' ma promise. Can't jus ignore one and accept another.

I could have stopped you at any time. And I didn't. So no, you are not to blame for that. And, really, you are not to blame for talking with a friend. She is to blame for jumping my shit.

Why we gotta blame anyone for dat anyway? Ah never thought it was ah mistake, blame makes it sound like it was ah bad t'ing. *Deep sigh.* Ah talked ta her, she won't say nothin' ta ya 'bout me no mor'.

Thank you.

*Painfully shy.* Yah got ah nice smile.

So do you, Dagny.

*Turns a rather nice shade of pink.* Thank ya, John.

Have you thought about when you can get free to come in?

Uh-huh, ah took tomorrow off, iffen dats okay. Only time ah really could, book store ain't so bad, it's da coffee shop.

Tomorrow is fine. I'll let them know we are coming in. And, Dagny, do try and be sober.

*Fidgets for awhile, and then sighs.* Iffen ya come over for dinner, den ah'll be sober.

Tonight?

Mmhmm. . .*nods slowly.*

Are you sure that's a good idea, Ms Taggart? I mean, I will, as long as you know what you are doing.

Waddya mean as long as I know what I'm doin'? It's dinner, ah won't do nothin' bad, ah promise. *Frowns.* If ya don't wanna, den dats fine.

I do want to. I'll be there.

*Grins and nods.* Yah don't have a problem wit spicy foods do ya?

Only with picking what kind of beer to have with it.

If ah can have a beer ain't gonna be no problem, John.

Beer is fine. Drunk is not.

Ah won't get drunk, ah'll show ya. It'll be my way ta show ah can keep a promise.
