Episode Sixty-Seven: Say It Isn't So

"Ahh," she screeched, raising her arms in celebration as though Ed McMahon had landed on her doorstep instead of plain old Bowie, a guy she’d seen practically everyday since first grade. "Come in, come in! You’re officially my first guest, here, let me take your coat, we have a coat rack, it’s antique, I think it belonged to Jean Harlow, amazing!"

"Yeah, so where’s the kid?" He was so furious over having to be in Sebastian’s home, having to see them in Sebastian’s home that he didn’t actually look at anything until he nearly tripped over the sofa. "It’s cloudy outside, why don’t you have any lights on in here?"

Lila scurried about diving into a drawer for a book of matches and she began lighting candles. "I love candlelight don’t you? It’s um, great, um ambition, isn’t it?

"Ambience," he corrected her and put his lighter to better use helping her, he placed them high up knowing it would never occur to Lila that Jesse could get into some trouble there.

"Ambience, it’s pretty, hey Jess," she said to the child scooping him up as he ran into the room. "Look who’s here to play?" The little boy’s first inclination was to reach over his mother’s shoulders and push the light switch on. "Don’t!" She whisper shouted and smacked his hand; Jesse began to cry until he was in the safety of Bowie’s arms.

"Here bud, I brought one of your favorite Root Beer lollipops, go put the wrapper in the garbage while I talk to your mom," Bowie suggested and then turned on Lila, demanding, "What’s wrong with you? For god’s sake, he was only turning on a light,"

"This is my house, my rules, and that is my son;" she said angrily and embarrassed.

"If this was your house you could turn on the lights Lilac, does he make you crawl along the floor too so no one can see you through the windows? What a swell Prince of a guy you’re letting your son live with, this is sure what dreams are made of, isn’t it?"
