Amber interrupted again. "Okay, I need a picture of that last one."<br /><br />Thomas unplugged his smart phone from the charging station on the counter and showed her.<br /><br />Amber scowled. "Not one of the assistant, one of you!"<br /><br />Thomas smiled. "Oddly enough, there aren't any. Totally random, anomalous electrical interference during that finale."<br /><br />Amber shook her head. "You expect me to believe that, BT?"<br /><br />"Okay, wait, it's my turn for a question," my lovely wife Jesse interjected. "What's 'BT'? It's not your initials, but Amb calls you that, and Rick here remembers Robyn calling you that. And now that I think about it, Marisol's called you that on occasion."<br /><br />Tom started, "Um-" before Amber broke in.<br /><br />"It's 'Big Tom'... A nickname for-" She stopped and looked at Thomas. "You know, it might be easier for me to ask how many of the Magician's assistants you <i>haven't</i> slept with?"<br /><br />Jesse shot me a look as if this was my fault. "Hey," I shrugged. "I had no idea what it meant either."<br /><br />Tom looked wounded. "Amber, honestly- I told you about me and Mari. She's the only one. But she does like practical jokes- as Rick and Jesse here can attest."<br /><br />"So you're saying Marisol told Robyn about your nickname for your junk, just so she could be part of a very exclusive in-joke during a magic trick?" Amber looked incredulous.<br /><br />Jess hopped to Thomas' defense, "Amber, you haven't spent much time around Marisol, have you? Because that's <i>exactly</i> the sort of thing she'd do."<br /><br />Thomas chuckled. "Yes- Amber, ask Jessie what Mari did to her and Rick on their anniversary. She wasn&#8217;t too pissed off with the payback, all things considered; she deserved it..."<br /><br />"Okay, Tom, I believe you!" Amber smiled and put her hand on his. He turned his palm over and grasped hers back, gently. "But before I hear about their anniversary, I still need to hear about their engagement!"<br /><br />"Oh right!" I startled, having been distracted by certain memories of a <i>very</i> tight purple corset. "Where were we?"<br /><br />Amber laughed, "How&#8217;d Tom get out of his cat suit?" She nudged him with her elbow.<br /><br />"Very quickly," he responded. "I really didn&#8217;t want to miss what was coming next."<br /><br />I continued the story...
