"No way," Jo said.  When they continued to wait for a response, she muttered, "I’m tryin’ to work here."

A rumbling of disapproval ensued.  "Come on, Rookie," Todd said.  "You one of us or not?"

"I am not talking about my sex life," she repeated.  They might sit around gossiping about what their wives would or wouldn’t do and how often, but not Jo.  "Blair would kill me."

"Like she’d ever know," her new partner said.

"With my luck, she’d find out somehow."  Probably just by asking. Blair would say, "What did you do at work today?" and Jo, stupidly, would tell her.  "And then I’d have nothin’ to talk about."

"Maybe you already don’t have anything to talk about," Jimmy suggested.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, Blair’s hot, but she’s kinda prissy."

Prissy? "Oh, yeah?" Jo retorted. "Well, last night she calls me into the dining room and-"

Their eyes widened at her tale.

"-twice. On Saturday, she-"

They gawked at her.

"-the back of her Mercedes.  And this morning, I’m in the shower when-"

"Hello, Sweetheart."

Jo leapt out of her chair.  "What the-what are you doing here?"

"I just thought I’d see if you were free for lunch."  Blair smiled at the others.  "Am I interrupting anything?"

"You are a goddess," Jimmy blurted.

Jo froze.

"Why, thank you," Blair said happily. "It’s nice to be appreciated."

"Oh, I think you’re appreciated," he said.

Jo glared at him. "Let’s go," she said, rushing Blair out before she ended up depreciated.
