was no retort, of course. He gathered
courage. "There’s something I've been

you always got me off on Junior

“Wilma, Tre something to tell you’,"
he blurted.
"A confession, Don Juan?" Wilma

“Bashful Ben’s" heart sank and his

“N—no,” he stammered. “I want to tell

Wilma rested her head against his
