Joanne mulls that thought over for a couple of moments.
“I suppose what I really need is a bit of practice to get my confidence.”
“Exactly.” I say.
“And these two are just perfect.”
“No, I meant before they get here.”
“Oh, I don’t really think we can grab some poor unfortunate passing girl and ask her to take a few whacks just for you to get some practice, Joanne.”
Joanne chuckles.
Thank goodness she’s lightening up a bit.
Unfortunately, then she gets a bright idea.
“I don’t suppose I could have a couple of practice goes on you, could I Clare?”
I’m lost for words.
Sadly, that gives her the chance to go on.
“It really would help me, Clare.
Just a couple. I’ll go easy on you.”
What can I say?
