“You know, power tools and tools in general have always fascinated me, but they kind of make me nervous at the same time.”

Hilton laughed. “You do have to be careful but staple guns are pretty harmless.”

“They do look pretty rudimentary,” Anne said as she handed Hilton a flyer.

They hit every telephone pole they could find for ten blocks.

“Maybe I should try the staple gun,” Anne suggested.

“Did Gerald do everything?” Hilton asked, wondering what Anne’s ex-husband looked like.

“Yes. I was always the assistant.”

“Well, then it’s high time you tried your hand at it.” Hilton put the safety latch on the gun and handed it to her. “When you’re ready, pull this off and then push down on the lever.”

Anne lined up the flyer and then perfectly stapled it. She jumped a little as the gun went off but that was all.

“See, that was awesome. Come on, let’s try some more.”

“I did jump a little.”

“I hardly noticed.”

Anne smiled at her. They hit a few more poles until they stood at the last one at the edge of the park. Shannon was still sleeping under the tree. Anne was poised to fire when she stopped. “Oh, my God, will you look at that.”

“What?” Then Hilton saw. Veronica was rubbing Jessie’s shoulders as she sat on one of the park benches. They were engrossed in discussion. She wondered where Dave and his girlfriend had gotten off to.

“What’s up with that? It almost has an element of tenderness,”

Anne said.

“I think it’s love at first sight.”

“No way!” Anne was behind her at the telephone pole and cocking the staple gun again.

“Who would have thought,” Hilton said, bemused with the idea. She could just imagine Jessie, complete with leather outfit, living happily ever after under Veronica’s domination.
