London is as likely as anything since there is more work there than most places in Europe.  I really won't know much till after the German holiday next week.

In the meantime, *typity type type*

“Air conditionin? How much did this thing cost?”

“With all the options... nine thousand five hundred.”

Ennis’s hand dropped off the gearshift before he put it in reverse. “Dollars?”

“No, magic beans Ennis, a course. It’s a luxury car.”

Ahh... I liked that one. Ennis gets to explain Ellery's apparent toughness to Junior, Junior realises that she was being silly (at least I hope so) and Ellery shows that he still wants to help Junior.

I love the new car, especially with all the new fangled 'modern' gadgets, and Ennis's reaction to it!

Mmmm... a nice chapter to log on to on a Friday evening.

I think Ellery will LOVE that car even more than he ever loved his El Camino--I think it is a perfect solution,  I knew he had a plan!!  He may be ticked at her actions, but he likes Jr, and her acceptance of them together--I didn't think he would just write her off cause she is young, and making some mistakes.  Excellent!!

it is hard to get a perspective of the dynamic of an entire day or an entire week reading a story chapter by chapter... but I can't see any of you HOLDING OFF just so you can read a week's worth of chapters at a time... can you?
