Tawny clutched her purchase
to her breast as she ran past her mother, giving her a quick hug and a kiss
hello, and hurried down the stairs to her basement room. When she was safely on
her bed, she ripped the bag open and grabbed the book inside.
"How to Catch Your Man," she read aloud. Well it was
certainly the title she wanted. Now about the contents.
She opened the book and peered at it eagerly. "Step One: Let him know that you
are quite a catch and on the market for a boyfriend. Hmm." she mumbled to herself.
"I can do that.
Step Two: Make attempts to look good for him and let him know that you think he looks good as well. Okey Dokey, two at a time sounds good. I think I'll start these tonight," she said grinning at her good luck monkey he had bought for her as a Christmas present the year before. "Wish me luck, Eros! I'm off to catch my man!"
