Kiley was, in a simple word, happy. After her afternoon with Wes yesterday, why wouldn't she be? In fact, happy was definitely too simple a word for it -- giddy might have been more appropriate. She might have even been skipping down the hallways, but that would have been embarrassing so of course she didn't.

She heard the name he mentioned -- Tobias -- and stuck to that. She knew Tobias, was friends with him, even if not overly close... surely, though, Tobias would have told her something like that, since he knew how much she cared for Wes? She didn't know.

And yet... and yet... there had been that howler, too, that Robert had gotten. She hadn't thought anything about it, just some stupid prank, but...

What she did know was that this whole conversation -- if it could be called that -- was
