Every Day Quotes: July
Jul 1
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.
Katherine Mansfield (1888 - 1923)
Jennifer Shepard pulled her old partner's arm to force him into entering the building. It wasn't that scary.
She wanted to go bowling. She wanted company. She knew her protective detail would have a coronary if she suggested something so frivolous in such a public space. And she also knew her protective detail had come to the collective conclusion that a certain Leroy Jethro Gibbs was perfectly capable of protecting her.
Gibbs just stared at all the flashing lights and dug his heels in more. "What, Jen, are you five?"
She punched his arm. "Abby bowls with her nuns and you don't complain about that."
"Because she's Abby. How am I supposed to protect you in this madhouse?"
She scowled. "I never said you had to protect me; I just said someone had to accompany me and bowl. You agreed to this."
"I can't bowl."
"Everyone can bowl." She was pretty sure she wasn't the one acting like a five year old. "I'll pay, you set everything up."
"Why are we doing this?" he whined.
She glared at him. "Because I want to enjoy myself. Stop spoiling my fun. I happen to know Abby took you bowling last month. So suck it up, Marine, and let's see if you can beat me."
As she left for the counter, she smiled to herself. This was going to be fun.
