QUOTE : I could see the outline of the cage coming into sight.<br /><br />“It’s so beautiful out today,” she commented.<br /><br />“It is.” I started to sweat.<br /><br />“Do you need a hand?” She could see the trap breaking the water.<br /><br />“No, I’m good,” I said, clearing my throat.<br /><br />“Oh, that stinks. It’s empty.”<br /><br />“Oh well. No loss.” Maybe I didn’t have to do this now. Maybe she wouldn’t see the box, and I could just pull up the traps I had set earlier today. She didn’t have to know.<br /><br />“Wait. What’s that?”<br /><br />Okay, never mind. Back to plan A.<br /><br />“What’s what?” That was smooth.
