Chapter 353 : Shrink Rap

Camilla

It was Michael! My heart pounded in anticipation. He had only just left my house a few hours ago! Why was he calling me?

"It's him!" I whispered to Liz. "What should I do?" I felt like I was in high school again, trying to play it cool with a boy I liked. This guy was really getting to me.

"Answer it, silly!" she replied with a grin. "It could be about work, or he could be asking you out. Either way, you have to talk to him to find out, right?"

Liz really was a great shrink. I wondered idly if I was going to have to pay for her services in a few years. If so, she would be totally worth it.

"Hey, how's it going?" I answered breezily. "I feel as if we've talked only moments ago!"

"Yeah, me too," he replied, though his tone was cool and professional. "But I'm afraid I'm calling for a favor. I was wondering if you would mind watching Isabella tonight? I have to deal with something unexpected, and you're the only one I can ask."
