nestly；　I'll　be　grounded　for　weeks　as　it　is。　How　much

more　trouble　can　I　really

getin？〃

〃None。　He'll　blame　me；　not　you。〃

〃If　you　have　a　better　idea；　I'm　all　ears。〃

〃Stay　here；〃　he　suggested；　but　his　expression　wasn't　hopeful。

〃No　dice。　But　you　go　ahead　and　make　yourself　at　home；〃　I　encouraged；　surprised

at　how　natural　my

He　was　there　before　me；　blocking　my　way。

I　frowned；　and　turned　for　the　window。　It　wasn't　really　that　far　to　the　ground；

〃My　mortality。　I'm　putting　it　to　a　vote。〃
