Tad watched Natalie walk back to the shop and frowned.  That woman confounded him.  He was all well and good with light harmless flirting, or something more serious, but he could never tell which she preferred.  He was pretty happy with the harmless intentionless flirting at the moment, but he always felt like if he pushed just a bit harder he'd be able to get past that icy wall of hers.  He wasn't sure if it was worth the efforts though.  She was a good friend, as was her daddy, and that sort of thing spread around town like wild fire.  Still, he shot back after her.<b>"Anyone who has seen Big Ben, would dream about me."</b>He knew it was a pretty flat comeback, but he was distracted by the city lady.<br/><br/><b>"Well, Ma'am, I recon I could take a look at it.  I ain't no hand with automobiles, but I know a thing or three."</b>
