Jay decided to take it upon himself to speak to her. If he wanted to, he could be quite a convincing young man. With the will of a his quiet, almost seductive voice, he could succumb woman to give into his wishes. "Ma’am" Jay summoned, waving her over. Anne had a large platter of drinks in her hand.
