"How old are you exactly?" Carol asks Adam.
He pauses and looks as if he is trying to think up an answer. Sarah says", by the way you guys, there is still plenty of cocoa left, would you like some."
Lazarus nods, as though replying for both of them. "Let me", says Sarah when she seems him getting up to move towards the cocoa pot. She goes and pours them both two dark blue mugs full of her delicious hot chocolate.
They each take a sip. Adam says, "Sarah, I see you have lost none of your magic. This is just celestial, it is so lovely."
"Carl had a unique way of describing Sarah's cocoa", says Sheila, deadpan, but there is a ferociously mischievous glint in her eyes. "What did you call it again, Carl?"
"No!" says Sarah imperiously, "We are not going there again." Then she glances around at the others and says nervously, "Or are we?"
Carl glances at Melissa, as if to ask her permission. She says impatiently, "Oh, do it if you must, but don't expect me to protect your ass this time."
"Not that I ever have, or that you've ever done", he quips, chuckling.
Then like a very bad little boy who knows he is bad and wants to milk it for what it's worth, Carl says, "I called it nipple erecting." And now everyone, is laughing, including Sarah.
"Well, he's right, you know", says Carol , "And as a woman, I ought to know", she adds, chortling.
"And now, Adam", she says with authority, "You are about to tell us your age...."
