Monday: June 29, 2009 (Day 1 of vacation) 9:38 A.M.
I wake up in Randy's arms in our bed in Ted's beach house. I remove his arms from around my waist, but he just wraps them back around my waist. I turn my body and give him a kiss on the cheek. He smiles. I smack his chest.
"Ow!" Randy exclaims. "What was that for?"
"You weren't letting me go, and I need food." I explained.
"Well…" Randy rolls over, so he is on top of me. "I think the food can wait."
I try to shove him off of me, but I am unsuccessful. "You're crushing me. I really need some food."
"And I need some quality time with you."
"You can have quality time with me after I eat."
"Can I? You'll end up talking to the others once we leave this bedroom. Then, you'll get too caught up with that to come back here to spend time with me."
"That's not true. I value our alone time."
"I'm not saying that you don't. I'm saying you'll end up asking me to wait until later to get it."
"But I'll still make time for you. Man, it would be nice to get some food."
Randy gets off of me and pulls me off the bed. "Let's get some breakfast then."
We walk downstairs to see Ted and Maryse already eating. Maryse hands me a bowl and a spoon. Ted hands me milk and a box of Honey Nut Cheerios. I poured myself some Cheerios with milk. I hand Randy the Cheerios and milk as Eve and Cody run down the stairs. Eve practically jumps into a chair.
"They figured out who attacked Rosa and Mickie." Eve tells us.
This catches all of our attention.
"Who?" I ask.
"It was Melina."
Maryse laughs. "Payback's a bitch…and so's Melina."
"Couldn't be more true." Ted comments.
"So who wants to go to the beach after we're done with breakfast?" Cody asks.
"That's the whole point of this vacation. I'm down to go."
Eve and Maryse nod in agreement.
I glance over at Randy, thinking of our recent conversation about alone time.
Randy places a hand on my shoulder. "Rissa and I will go too."
I smile at Randy. "Yeah."
Randy leans over to whisper in my ear. "Sorry, beautiful, but something came up. We're gonna have to postpone the alone time we wanted until later."
I roll my eyes. "You aren't gonna get that alone time if you keep making fun of me."
After breakfast, we get changed and go to the beach. We all sat out our beach chairs and other stuff. The boys were in the water while we girls were laying on our beach towels getting our tans, trying to look good for when return to work.
Maryse is on her phone while Eve and I watch the boys wrestle with each other in the water. Eve glances over in another direction for a second and then taps me on the shoulder. I turn to her.
"I have an idea. It could possibly be a mean one." Eve points to the beach volleyball area.
"Tell the guys next time they're up here that we'll get in the water if they play beach volleyball with us?" I ask.
"Exactly."
"How is that a mean idea?" Maryse asks.
"I'm really good at volleyball. I played all four years of high school on a team that ended up going to state." I answer.
"Would Randy know we're up to something?"
"Possibly because he went to high school with me for two years. He knows I played volleyball in high school."
Maryse looks up from her phone. "That's true. I forget that sometimes."
"Probably because he and I weren't cool for a while, so I didn't like talking about him."
"True."
"We're so doing this volleyball thing though. I'd like to beat the boys so bad that it embarrasses them."
"Okay." Eve and Ryse say as the boys start heading up towards us.
Cody is the first to make it to us and sits next to Eve. "We're having so much fun. You ladies should join us when we get back in the water."
I shared a look with Maryse and Eve.
"Fine, we will get in the water when you guys decide to go back in." Eve tells Cody.
"But." Maryse adds. "On one condition."
"You have to play a game of beach volleyball." I finish.
"Okay." Ted and Cody agree immediately.
"Wait…" Randy says. "They're up to something. Marissa played volleyball in high school."
I kiss Randy on the cheek. "That doesn't matter, Randal. I'm going to be rusty."
"Fine. But you forget I know you. There's some ulterior motive here." Randy suddenly picks me up and starts heading towards the water. "For now, let's get in."
Ted and Cody do the same with Maryse and Eve. They drop us once we're a decent way into the water. However, the water is so cold that I jump right back into Randy's arms. Randy chuckles at me.
"I'm cold." I tell him.
Randy pulls me into a hug to warm me up. Maryse, Ted, Cody, and Eve are playing with a beachball. I decided to join the game with the beachball once I got used to the water. Randy gets involved as well, and it eventually turns into who can hit Ted with the beachball the most. Then, suddenly, the boys shove us into the water. We girls got back up and tackled the boys into the water. We then decide to go dry off and play volleyball.
The boys get on one side of the net and the girls get on the other. Ted serves it first. Maryse hits it but not well enough and Eve hits it over. Cody spikes it and scores a point.
Boys- 1 Girls- 0
The boys high-five, and Ted serves. Maryse hits it over, and Randy hits it back. They go back and forth a few times before I hit it and score.
Boys- 1 Girls- 1
We go back and forth quite a bit leading up to this score:
Boys- 11 Girls- 11
Randy serves it. Maryse hits it back. Then, Ted assists Cody into getting it over. Eve hits it over. Randy hits it back, but I manage to spike it and score.
Boys- 11 Girls- 12
I blow Randy a kiss before we pack up to go back to the house.
Randy looks over at me while he's packing up stuff near me. "So what was the ulterior motive?"
I shrug. "Thought you'd be worse at it and I'd mop the floor with you three to an embarrassing point since I played in high school."
"That's about what I thought. I'm glad that didn't work out for you."
"Shut up."
We sat in the living room to focus on the show during Raw. We all had different adversaries to worry about keeping an eye on. A match between Batista and the Miz had just ended, and Justin Roberts was in the ring.
"The following match is a battle royal to determine the number one contender for the WWE Divas Championship! To be eliminated a Diva must be thrown through the ropes with both feet touching the floor." Justin announced.
Maryse and I share a look of concerns. No one told her they were doing this.
I can tell you're feelin' me
The way you looking at me
Won't ya come and let me see
Just how you diggin' on me…
Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Melina, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox, Layla, Maria, Katie Lea Burchill, Gail Kim, and Jillian Hall walk down the ramp and enter the ring.
The Divas bunch up in the ring.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The battle royal starts and Divas brawl everywhere. Brie and Nikki eliminate Rosa. Gail eliminates Jillian. Maria eliminates Katie Lee and herself. Layla eliminates Gail.
Layla, Kelly, Brie, Nikki, Alicia, Mickie, Beth, Natalya, Candice, and Melina are left. Layla gets eliminated by the Bellas who then get eliminated by Alicia. Melina eliminates Candice. Kelly gets eliminated by Beth. Natalya is eliminated by Mickie.
Beth, Melina, Mickie, and Alicia are the final four. Melina and Beth work together and eliminate Alicia. Mickie eliminates the two from behind.
"Here is your winner and the number one contender for the WWE Divas Championship, Mickie James!"
Maryse throws a few pillows and looks very mad.
"I already beat her!" Maryse says.
I look at her. "You'll beat her, Ryse."
"You need to worry about Michelle, Rissa, not me."
"She's right, ya know?" Randy comments to me.
"I know." I mutter as I cross my arms
We continue watching. Chris and Edge just cut a promo, and I'm guessing Michelle is cutting one next.
You're not enough for me (Oh no no)
Just another man in love with me (Just another man ooh)
Gotta open up your eyes and see (hey, hey Oh well)
You're not enough for me (oh no)...
I was right. She walks out with the championship that should be mine and a microphone.
"Last night, I beat Marissa, fair and square, for the WWE Women's Championship, but most people are mad. Why? I'm a far better champion than her. The only reason she got a title match against Melina at Backlash is because she kissed up to the right people and…" Michelle gets cut off.
(I'm all grown up) Now, and I listened and learned
A true star and I'm finally, gettin my turn
Took my L, earnt my spot
I'ma be here for a minute sonny boy if you like it or not…
Stephanie appears on TV for the first time in months with a microphone in hand. "Michelle, let me make something perfectly clear. You did not beat Marissa fair and square. You used brass knuckles to knock her out and then pin her. The referee should have disqualified you. As a result, you will be defending your championship against her at Night of Champions. And even if she does not win, she will still have her rematch clause to use at any time. And to make sure there is no outside interference in your match at Night of Champions, that match will be a Steel Cage match!"
The crowd and I cheer. This is awesome!
Randy looks at me. "Looks like you've got something fun to look forward to."
Tuesday: June 30, 2009 2:26 P.M.
"He only turns twenty-four today? Wow, he's young." I comment as Ted, Randy, and I decorate the living and dining rooms for Cody's birthday. "How old are you, Ted?"
"I will be twenty-seven on November 8." Ted answers.
"So you were born in 1982 too?"
"Sure was."
I grin. "Sounds like all the cool people were born that year. I was born then too."
Randy looks at us. "You two sound so dumb right now."
"He's just jealous." Ted mutters.
I laugh. Randy narrows his eyes at me. I shrug.
Randy looked over at Ted. "I'm not jealous, but you two as friends have found a way to become an annoying duo."
"I didn't think me annoying you was anything new." I comment.
"It's not, but it's worse when it's both of you together."
I give Randy a kiss on the cheek. "Sorry, handsome."
"You're lucky you're pretty." Randy smirks before starting on the streamers.
"That was such a shallow comment."
"Where's Maryse at?"
"I don't know." Ted tells Randy. "She's been gone for a while, and we have a hour, at most, before Eve and Cody get back from the zoo."
Just then, someone knocks on the door. It's Maryse.
"It's her." I tell the guys before opening it.
"Sorry I took so long. Some fans recognized me when I went to pick up the cake, but I got everything. The cake, ice cream, and candles." Maryse explains.
"That's okay. We still have time." I let her in the house and closed the door.
I help her with the stuff, and we go into the kitchen to put candles in the cake while Randy and Ted finish up the decorating. The moment we put in the last candle, Eve sends us a text telling us they're on their way back. Once Randy and Ted are done, we dim the lights and hide. Eve and Cody walk in.
"Surprise!" We jumped out.
"Oh wow." Cody says. "Thanks."
He hugs us all individually before Eve has him sit. We bring his cake, and he blows out the candles. We all eat the cake as he tells us about his zoo trip.
Wednesday; July 1, 2009 10:19 A.M.
Maryse, Eve, and I are in the kitchen making Ted, Cody, and Randy pancakes. The boys do not know about it yet as it's a surprise. They will probably smell it soon and run down the stairs. They love pancakes. I hear at least two of them running down the stairs.
"Here they come." Eve mutters.
It's Ted and Cody. They give their respective girlfriends kisses.
Ted looks at me. "He's still passed out in your guys' bed."
"Good to know." I comment.
I took a picture of the pancakes for proof that there was food before running upstairs. Ted was right. Randy was sleeping. He looked adorable, so I took a picture before waking him up. I tried everything from telling him to shaking him, but he wouldn't get up. I get in the bed and kiss him. He wraps his arms around me. His lips collide with mine.
"This is a great way to wake up." Randy mumbles. "Is that pancakes?"
"Yes. We girls got up early to make them. Now get your ass down there." I told him.
"I think I need to wake up a little more. Kiss me again."
I roll my eyes. "Seriously?"
"Yeah." Randy pulls me into a kiss.
I was annoyed because I didn't want mine and his food to get cold, but I kissed him back. As we're kissing, he picks me up bridal style and starts to carry me downstairs with him. Once we get down, Randy pulls out of the kiss and puts me down, and the others look at us.
I point at my boyfriend. "That was all him."
"You didn't fight back." Randy comments as we both take a seat and grab some pancakes.
"Why would I? You're way bigger than me."
"Hasn't stopped you before."
"Shut up."
Randy chuckles at me. "So what are we doing today?"
"Just whatever." Ted tells Randy. "But I need you to help me go shopping later."
"Okay."
"Thanks."
The other four get done and head upstairs, leaving me and Randy alone.
"Let's prank them." Randy whispers in my ear.
I raise an eyebrow at him. "Why?"
"Cody and Ted are always trying to prank me. They need to be shown how it's done, and Eve and Maryse are just an added bonus. Come on, Rissa. You can't say no."
"Who says I can't?"
"Me." Randy smirks at me.
"This is so immature, Randy. You know it." I told him.
"Everyone's allowed a little immaturity, Marissa. Come on. Live a little."
"Why are you insisting on it so much?"
"Because it's been so long since we've pranked someone. It'd be fun. I promise that I'll do whatever you want tomorrow."
"Tomorrow's my birthday. You would be anyway."
"Please, Rissa."
I sigh. "Fine but how are you going to get stuff to prank with?"
"I can sneak off to get it. I'll worry about all that."
I look at Randy. "I still think this is a bit dumb."
"I know you do, but it'll work out." Randy responds as he fills up some water balloons.
"What if it doesn't work out the way you want it to?"
"It's just a prank. No one is going to get hurt."
I sigh. "How did you convince me to do this?"
Randy smirks. "Because you love me. If you ask me, this is pretty great bonding time."
I take the bucket of water balloons from Randy and smile at him. "I guess you're right about that. I do love spending time with you."
"Same here. Are you going to need help setting that bucket up?"
"No, I think I got it. You should start filling balloons for the other bucket."
Randy goes back to filling balloons. "I love doing these things with you. I'm glad to have you back in my life in a good way."
I felt a couple tears in my eyes as I set up the bucket. "Me too."
Randy looks over at me. "Couldn't be more happy to be with you."
"You really caught me off guard when you asked me to be your girlfriend, but I'm glad that I said yes. Are you almost ready with that second bucket of water balloons?"
"Yeah, just give me a few."
"Alright." I watch Randy as he fills up more water balloons. "Man, you're hot."
Randy laughs as he finishes. "So are you. Let me set this bucket up, and we can find a way to get the others to come out here."
"How do you want to get them to come out here?"
"I'm just going to text them that I need them to come outside to help with something. They should come out here." Randy explains as he sets up the second bucket.
"If they're mad about this, I'm throwing you under the bus for this."
Randy sends a text on his phone. "You go ahead and do that, Rissa."
Randy pulls me to his chest as we wait. I lean on him.
The door opens. The other four walk out.
"What do you need, Randy?" Ted asks just before the water balloons fell on all of them.
Everyone is silent. Randy and I exchanged a glance. The other four gave us annoyed looks.
I start laughing. "You know, this was his idea, and I didn't see the point at first. However, this is actually hilarious now that I'm seeing it."
Maryse rolls her eyes. "Is it?"
Randy smirks. "Very. I'm gonna take Marissa inside. Do you all need some towels?"
Thursday: July 2, 2009 8:19 A.M.
"Wake up, Rissa." Randy says to me.
"No." I say before rolling over. "I'm tired."
"Come on, Rissa. You don't want to miss your birthday. Do you? We're already running late to get you to your tattoo appointment."
"Not really. And I guess I should get up, so we can get to this tattoo appointment."
"Then get up."
I roll out of bed. "Fine, Randy, you win."
"I always do."
I roll my eyes at him as I slip on an old t-shirt that Randy had given me, jean shorts, and a pair of black converse.
"Are you ready to get your first tattoo today?" Randy asks me as I grab my purse.
"I guess. I'm a bit anxious honestly."
Randy pulls me closer to him. "Listen, babe. It's gonna hurt some, but you'll be okay. Are you sure you want this though? If you're too anxious…"
"I want this tattoo, Randy. You know why I'm getting it. It's going to have a lot of sentimental value to me."
"I'm just making sure. We need to get going."
"Alright."
We run downstairs, grab breakfast to go, and leave for the tattoo parlor. Randy and I get in the car, and he starts driving to the tattoo parlor.
Randy grabs my hand. "Happy birthday."
I smile. "Thanks."
"Just so you know, I'm taking you to lunch after this. It'll just be us. You're getting a birthday dinner with everyone tonight."
"Am I supposed to know about that?"
Randy shrugs. "Did you think we'd do one for Cody and not you? Do you think I'd let that happen?"
"I'd hope not."
Randy kisses my hand. "I wouldn't."
"I appreciate you doing this with me."
"Of course. I didn't want you to go alone, plus it's your first tattoo, and if you couldn't tell, I love tattoos."
I laugh. "Is that why you have tattoo sleeves and the one on the back of your neck and shoulders?"
"Maybe. How's it feel being twenty-seven?"
"It hasn't really sunk in yet, honestly."
"It will. While you're getting your tattoo, think about where you want to go to lunch."
"Okay."
The lady who I had ended up getting my tattoo from had more tattoos than even Punk. Her name was Marianna.
Luckily we were in a private room, and Randy was the only other person in there as I didn't need tons of people watching me get my first tattoo.
It's a butterfly with black and blue wings, to honor my mom and dad. It's going to be on my right shoulder.
It had hurt a little, but not nearly as much as I had anticipated. I could tell Randy knew it was hurting a little. He watched me with concern during the process and held my hand the whole time. It took an hour and a half. After paying, Randy and I left.
Randy starts to drive me around to look for a place to eat lunch. "So where do you want to go?"
"Honestly, just somewhere we don't get in Missouri." I answer.
"No preferences?"
"Not really. I just want to spend time together."
"Alright then. I've got soap you can use to wash your tattoo, but like Marianna said, wait a day."
"Thanks, babe."
"Are you sure you're doing okay?"
"Yeah…"
"Something tells me I shouldn't believe you." Randy pulls the car into a nearby parking lot and parks. "What's going on?"
I sigh. "I'm just thinking about it, feeling like I'm not good enough again. It's not your fault."
"Is there anything I can say to make it better?"
"I don't really think so. I'm sorry about being so insecure. This isn't what you signed up for when you decided to date me."
"I get why though. And I'm making it my job to get you to realize how great you are. To be honest, you're probably more girlfriend material than I am boyfriend material."
"You're amazing, Randy. Stop that."
"It's the truth though. I'm the one shooting out of my league in this relationship. You're settling for me."
"I'm not settling. I want you."
"And you could do better than me. We'll work on your insecurity together though because as far as I'm concerned, you're perfect."
"You're over exaggerating, Randy."
"I don't think I am. And right now, it's all about you. It's your birthday, your day. Let's focus on you. Are you ready for lunch?"
"Yeah, thank you."
Randy and I walked back into the house together. The others see us and have a pile of presents nearby.
Maryse smiles at me. "Happy birthday!"
Eve runs over and hugs me. "Happy birthday!"
I smile. "Thanks, you two."
Ted brings a plate to the table. "Here's dinner for the birthday girl."
"Do you want to open presents first?" Cody asks.
I nod. "Yeah. Thank you, guys. I am so grateful."
Randy wrapped an arm around me and walked with me to the table. "I hope you've had a great day."
"I've had a fantastic day." I tell Randy as we sit down. "Thank you."
"My gift isn't in that pile." Randy whispers.
I nod in understanding, knowing he still had gotten me something.
"Open my gift first." Maryse tells me while practically passing me her gift.
"Okay. Guess that's decided." I start opening the gift.
Maryse got me an expensive wine. This was a great gift as I did like to drink wine. It was something I would use for sure.
"Thank you." I tell Maryse.
"Mine next!" Eve tells me.
Randy passes me the gift from Eve. I opened it. Eve got me a framed picture of her, Maryse, and me at the Hall of Fame this year. It was a great picture, and I had been talking about needing to frame more pictures.
"Thanks, Eve. You definitely listen to me." I comment.
"I try." Eve remarks.
Randy passes me the gift from Ted next. I open it. Ted gave me wine glasses.
Randy grabs them from me. "Oh cool. Now you have no excuse to not share with me."
I roll my eyes. "Thanks, Ted."
I opened Cody's gift for me last. Cody gave me a box set of candles.
Cody shrugs. "I don't know if you're a candle person, but I feel like it was a safe bet for a gift."
I nod. "I use candles. Thank you. Actually thanks to all of you for the gifts. Some years, I don't get to do much for my birthday, and you didn't have to do this for me."
"You're forgetting someone." Randy comments before suddenly putting a gold chain around my neck.
I look down at what Randy put on my neck. It's a golden locket in the shape of a heart. The inside has his and my names connected by an infinity sign as well as the words forever and always.
"It's beautiful." I whisper to him. "Thank you so much."
Randy smiles at me. "Anything for you, beautiful. Can we eat now though?"
Ted nods. "Yes, and I've got alcohol, movies, popcorn, and a karaoke machine for us. We're partying tonight."
I laugh. "I think I'm going to feel the effects of this in the morning."
Friday: July 3, 2009 11:12 A.M.
I was definitely feeling the effects of last night. I woke up with a huge headache. I let out a huge groan. Randy walks in.
"Here." Randy throws me some medicine.
"You too?" I ask.
"Yep, and I think we're the only ones who brought advil. So don't say anything, I don't want to share."
"You were never one for sharing."
"You know it."
We walk downstairs to see everyone else, nursing hangovers. Randy smiles knowingly at me. We sat with our friends.
"You don't look like you guys have a hangover like the rest of us." Maryse says.
"We didn't drink as much." Randy lies.
"Okay then."
As the others nurse their hangovers, Randy and I decide to check out this personal ring Ted has here. We find it towards the back of the house and it's about as good as the WWE rings. We decide to train in it.
The next thing I know I am in a sleeper hold on my knees.
"Can't breathe." I gasp out.
Randy releases the sleeper hold. I gasp for air. Randy helps me up.
"I'm pretty sure you could still breathe, but I'm a gentleman. You can practice on me next." Randy tells me.
"Fine. I'll do just that." I retort before climbing up to the top turnbuckle.
I do a Missile Dropkick. Randy stumbles. I climb up to the top turnbuckle again and do another. He falls this time. I try to lock in the Figure-Four, but Randy pulls me down. I landed on top of him. My hands land right on top of his chest. Randy chuckles. I playfully smack him. We get up, and Randy Irish Whips me into the ropes. I kick him in the chest when I head towards him again. I run into the ropes once more and use the momentum to hit a Tornado DDT on him. He looks at me in astonishment.
"You've improved." Randy mutters.
I mock him. "I always do."
Randy rolls his eyes. "You're right. It does get annoying sometimes."
"You finally understand."
"Now I feel bad."
I sat down. "It's okay. If you didn't act the way you do, things between us might have been different."
Randy sat down next to me. "That's true. I feel so lucky."
"I love you. Thanks for taking me on this little vacation. I think I needed it."
Randy pulls me to him. "I'm just trying to make you happy. It's what you deserve. I'm glad I finally get to spend all this alone time with you too."
"All you had to do was ask at a good time."
Randy caresses my face before pulling me onto his lap. "Well, I'm gonna be greedy and ask for a lot of alone time today."
"You can have that all you want." I comment as we start to kiss.
"Didn't Ted say something about no PDA in the ring?"
"He's not in here."
"We might as well get out of the ring because this is going to escalate."
"Why?"
"I'm in the right kind of mood. This kissing makes me want to have sex."
"I'm in that kind of mood too. Let's head back to our room and do that."
We watch SmackDown in the living room. Triple H is announced as Randy's number one contender once again. Ted DiBiase Sr. is announced as the guest host of Raw on Monday. That means good things for Legacy and us. Michelle and Chris are currently in the ring to cut a promo.
"You can boo all you want. We know you're just jealous." Chris tells the crowd.
"He's right. I am the Women's Champion, and after Night of Champions, Chris and his partner, Edge, will beat Carlito and Primo for the Tag Team Titles." Michelle remarks.
Cody and Ted were glaring at the TV. They wanted the tag title shot.
Maryse looks at them. "Ted, you can talk to your dad on Monday. He can put you in the match."
"Marissa is pathetic. She's…" Michelle gets cut off.
You can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above…
Nikki walks out by herself, at least someone is taking a stand. She heads into the ring and gets in Michelle's face.
Michelle glares at Nikki. "Who the hell do you think you are? I am the Women's Champion and…"
Nikki cuts Michelle off. "No one cares, Michelle. Get that through that thick skull of yours."
"Brie, Nikki, whichever one you are, sweetie, I know you're jealous of me. I mean, who wouldn't be? Even Marissa, Eve, and Maryse are jealous."
"Is that why you betrayed them, Michelle? You want everyone to be jealous of you? Marissa worked her ass off to get where she is. You aren't even anywhere close to her level."
"Oh, but I am." Beth comments from behind Nikki.
Nikki turns around to get a Glam Slam from Beth. Brie runs out there only to receive one as well.
I look at Eve and Maryse. "Michelle is getting too many allies and going after too many of us. We're going to need more than the three of us. We're forging an alliance, and I'm doing something drastic."
I grab my phone and dial Kelly's number. She answers.
Kelly: "Hello?"
Me: "Hey, it's Marissa. Could you possibly get Melina to talk to me? If she's around right now."
Kelly: "Um...sure, I'll try."
Melna: "Hey...I don't really know why you need to talk to me, but I'll talk."
Me: "We need to work together."
Melina: "For what?"
Me: "This Michelle problem is getting to be too much for me, and you hate her a lot. Will you help?"
Melina: "Sure."
