Being trapped in ... machine were dashed when Richard picked up the phone and said, "Hello?" Richard waited for a moment and asked, "Hello?" a second time before Christina found her voice.         "Hello," Christina answered in a grave tone.         "Well," Richard beamed, "Miss Christina Chase! You just caught me. I was about to leave the office for the night."         "It's Sunday," Christina said in a snarky voice, "What are you doing in the office?" It was an accusation more than a question.         "I was working on a special project. Nothing you'd be interested in," he said dismissively. "So... for what purpose do I have the pleasure of speaking with you tonight?"         Christina hated the way he spoke. His every word carried an assured tone as though his own self-confidence was attempting to overpower every situation. Christina gritted her teeth and said, "I need a favor."         "Of course. Anything. What can I do for you?"         Christina took a deep breath and bellowed, "I need you to take me out on a fake date."         There was a short pause followed by a chuckle. "You're asking me out on a date?"         "A FAKE date," Christina corrected.         "Oh right, so you said.... A fake date. And how is that different from a standard date?"         "It's the same as a normal date, except you don't like me, and I don't like you," Christina fumed. "And we won't enjoy ourselves."         "That is quite an attractive offer!" Richard joked. "But there's a problem- I like you. Quite a lot, actually."         "Fine," Christina answered, rolling her left hand into a fist. "You can like me all you want, and I still won't like you."         "And I think I'd enjoy it immensely," Richard continued, not hindered by Christina's venom. "In fact, I believe that I can promise that you will have a good time too..."         Christina did not care for that intimation one bit. "Look, do you want to go out with me on a fake date or not?"         "I most certainly do. When did you have in mind?"         "I'm leaving town on Tuesday."         "That just leaves tomorrow."         "Can you do it or not?" Christina barked.         "Well," Richard said, his voice not losing one drop of it's poise, "I did have some late appointments, but I would gladly postpone them to see you."         Christina closed her eyes so tightly she felt her entire head might implode.         Richard continued, "So let's say, the Clairmont Inn? I'll pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow?"         "I'll MEET you there at eight. And my cousin Andrei will be there too." She hoped that last part sounded like a threat.         Richard joked, "Andrei can come, but I'm not dancing with him."         "He's bringing his own date!" Christina spewed.         "Fair enough," Richard laughed, "That leaves you all to me."         Christina protested, "That does NOT leave-"         "Excellent," Richard interrupted. "I'll see you tomorrow at eight."         "Fine!" Christina pressed the end button on her phone and tossed it across the room.         Boris jumped off the bed, worried that he was the reason Christina was so mad.         Christina stormed out of the room and down the stairs. Blazing through the kitchen, not saying a word to her aunt, she went out the side door into the cold night. Christina was so furious that the fact that she was not wearing her jacket did not faze her. She burst into the barn and stomped over to Andrei's work bench.         Hearing the noise, Andrei looked up from his work in shock.         Christina's cheeks were ablaze from the cold air, but the anger in her eyes burned hotter than the sting on her face. Leaning forward, she poked Andrei in the chest with her finger and screamed, "I just got off the phone with Richard! You've got your double date! Happy now?"         Andrei had never seen his cousin in such a state, and found no words to answer her.         "Eight o'clock. Tomorrow night at the Clareman Inn," she said, still poking him in the chest.         "The Clairmont Inn?" Andrei asked sheepishly.         "Whatever!" Christina shouted, her waving hands in the air. "You are going! And you are going to have a good time, or so help me, I will bury your broken body in the cold, rocky ground in the backyard!"         Andrei backed away and said, "Okay then... sounds like a hoot." He watched Christina heaving with anger, waiting hopefully for her to calm down even a little bit. When he thought she'd burned off some of her rage, he asked, "I thought you hated Richard..."         Christina slapped him hard and repeatedly on the side of his shoulder and screeched, "YES! YES! I HATE RICHARD! God! You stupid jerk!" She hit him a few more times until her hand hurt worse than her cousin's shoulder. "I hate Richard, but I love YOU, you idiot! This is all you get, do you understand? One double date, then you're on your own."         Andrei nodded, realizing that saying anything would likely trigger another assault.         Christina shook her head and muttered, "You'd better be everything Steph hopes you are." She stormed back out of the barn, this time realizing just how cold it was outside. She lifted the skirt of her Sunday dress and ran to the side door and into the safety of the kitchen. Her aunt was staring at her huffing and puffing. Christina bent over, rested her hands on her knees and tried to catch her breath. Once she could speak again, she looked up at her aunt and gasped, "So... let's make a roast." Edited into coherence by Holly H. Hart. Thanks to Sephrena Miller for taking an early read.
