You say, "I think everyone knows I'm not one for speeches. The only thing I
would have to say is thank you, and that I will continue to work as hard as I
could."
The ghost of a smile passes fleetingly across your lips.

her own paw. "You're trying to trick me into something."

You say, "With good reason!"
