A few rows in Sarah is met by a tall, very assertive and impressionable man. This was her husbands boss Mark, better known as Mr Howard. Mr Howard owned his own Law firm in the city and was a very established, though somehow single, man. That mystery was never solved, though she had theories. She thought maybe he was just waiting for the one, that seemed sweet and made him to be a nice kind man. She also thought that he did have people whom he loved but just never announced it publicly due to the repercussions of breaking up with status as high as his. She never asked her husband about this however, as she didnt want to make him feel jealous. "Sarah, is that you? Gosh I knew it was you! Hi i'm Mark, Toms boss. We met at that party a few months ago. How have you been?". "Oh uh I've been good. Yeah I am just doing some groceries so funny running into you". She was surprised he came to the same store since she thought he lived on the other side of town but was pleased to see him nonetheless. Mark was a very attractive man. Very powerful, very wealthy, veery attractive. "Oh yeah I guess I needed a few things and they ran out by me. Hey good thing I ran into you though, I have some unfortunate news to tell you. You see, Tom is currently on the list for people who are being let go, and before you say anything I have fought HARD for him to stay but corporate just dont want this to work". She goes pale and fumbles into him thinking of all the things her family will lose if he loses this job. "Oh god is there anything we can do to help him stay? Seriously he loves this job.... he needs this job". He looks at her as she lays onto him looking up, whimpering for breathe. He knows he can't hurt her or her family, and he truly does love having Tom at work. "Well look, I have a way we can keep Tom on but i'm not sure you will like it". She atands back, looking over at him with excitement and gratitude for his kind offer without any notion of what it will be. "Anything, tell me and we will do it". "Well its your daughter Samantha. At the last christmas party we really hit it off and I have grown to quiet like her. I would like to take her off your hands, just for the weekend. I get to do anything with her while she is in my care, and in exchange your husband can keep his job". He looks at her for a moment before adding "So what do you say?"....
