Here is what is technically yesterday's word… like I said, technical difficulties. LoL! Anyway, I thrive on reviews, people!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Apocryphal

\uh-PAH-kruh-ful\: of doubtful authenticity

OOOOOOOOOO

In the field, Annie could spin a story like nobody's business and make it seem like a well-known fact.

After learning everything she had about Auggie, she was convinced that he was the master of tale-telling, especially back in his field-agent days.

Drinks after work at the tavern were the perfect setting for some of Auggie's more interesting stories.

"You CANNOT be serious!"

"No lie, I swear!" Auggie laughed, setting his beer back on the table. "She actually said that even though I was blind, or maybe even because of it, she felt like I could see directly into her soul."

Annie almost started choking on her beer all over again.

Auggie's stories tonight all seemed to revolve around how being blind had ended up making him even more appealing to beautiful women. Although, with his charm, Annie was pretty sure he didn't have any trouble in that area before his accident.

"And after that enlightening statement from her?"

"Annie, do you really want it to turn into THAT kind of story?" Auggie asked with a wink.

Annie blushed slightly and sat back in her chair, taking her beer with her. "Right, cause that wouldn't be awkward or anything," she said with a laugh.

Auggie smirked. "I can actually hear you blushing, Walker."

Just then, two very attractive women passed the table, watching the blind tech the whole way.

"Hey, Auggie."

"Hi, Auggie."

"Ladies." Auggie tipped his head towards their voices with a smile as they passed.

Annie stared at her best friend in awe for a few moments before finally speaking up. "So both of those girls obviously knew you, and apparently they know each other, so…" she drifted off.

Auggie leaned forward and grinned. "Now that is an interesting story."

"Stop right there, Mister!" Annie held her hand up as if he could actually see it. It was so easy to forget that he was, in fact, completely blind. "I don't think my fragile mind can handle THAT story."

"Wuss…" He relaxed back into his seat.

"Wait a minute. All they said was hello. How do you even know who they were?"

Auggie leaned in and crooked his finger for her to do the same. "It's how they said my name," he said with another wink. "Not something easily forgotten."

"And that is the point where I ask you to please spare me the details," she stage-whispered back.

Sitting up, Auggie replied, "I repeat my previous assessment: wuss."

Annie grinned. "Damn right." She considered her best friend for a moment. "You know, Aug, if you ever decided to write your memoirs, I honestly don't think anyone would believe half of them."

Auggie laughed lightly and lifted his beer towards her. "It's not my fault I lead such an interesting life."

"If that's what you want to call it." Annie grinned and clinked her beer bottle with Auggie's.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Alright, there's word #2! Remember, reviews are a wonderful vice!
