<strong>"Circling? If you do it in circles both Tom and Mr Reid will have your ass in a sling. If it's not cut in perfectly straight lines and perfectly edged there will be hell to pay."</strong>It was all Alison could do to stop herself from laughing as she chided Paul with a stern voice and equally stern face. The was something about Paul's manner that Alison couldn't resist teasing him to see what kind of reaction she'd get from telling him off. Alison held Paul in her steely gaze for a few seconds to see if he would wilt, before her face soften as she broke into a wide smile<strong>"It's alright, Tom really isn't that much of a hardass. But Mr Reid does like the lawn to be well manicured, just like everything else really, so no missing bits and definitely no taking divots out of the lawn."</strong><br/><br/>Alison kept making small talk with Paul as they returned to the garage, trying to size up the young college student. Cute, a little bit shy and working his way through college, these were all things Alison could work with but she needed to easy him into it gently just in case he startled easily.<strong> "Now the mower is just in the corner over there."</strong>Alison pointed to a red object that was partly hidden behind a stack of boxes, this garage was full of junk but it was her husbands junk and she knew better than to try and tidy it up.<strong>"Honestly I have no idea how it works, but I think there's some spare fuel in a can er.. somewhere."</strong>
