My question seemed to shock this intruder coz he was suddenly silenced and practically froze. Then he finally noticed Lenny. "Mr. Payne." I could tell he practically forced that out. Lenny stood up and held out his hand. "Mr. Brooks." there was clearly some bad blood between them but for the life of me I did not know why. "Uummm.. Lenny care to explain this to me?" i gave 'Mr. Brooks' one look then focused my attention on Lenny. He looked at me some emotion I've never seen Lenny wearing swimming in his eyes. He sighed deeply. "I was trying to think of thw best way to break this news to you but it seems like I don't have any time for that anymore." He glanced at Mr. Brooks his expression darkening. "Honey," he took my hand between his and brought it to his mouth placing a soft kiss.
