You are quite welcome. I must admit, this one gave me visual delight in so many ways - but what cracked me were these lines:
“I thought I’d disabled that bloody manipulator,” the man complained, looking absolutely delighted.
“I’d take her advice if I were you. She’s brilliant you know,” the man said, bending down as if to impart great wisdom. He looked at Neal and grinned. He seemed quite genially insane.
I could hear and see that so, so well and it just...broke me for a few minutes. I still laugh out loud every time, but the first time I read it, I cackled so hard it took me half an hour to recover. I was gasping for breath, wiping my eyes and internally begging for mercy - only to have my treacherous eyes light on one of those sentences and set me off all over again. Good times, man.
*Grins*
So you could say (in the sharing sense), the pleasure was all mine. And if at least one person felt my personal 'pain' - I feel my mission was accomplished! :D
