Feeling freer? That was one way to put it, wrapped around Merry's finger was probably truer. He watched slightly entranced as his mother, glowing slightly in the steam of her meal caressed the unfortunately phallic vegetable with her gorgeous lips.<br/>He tried to keep his cool picking up his drink as he lapped at the soda before realising and instead sipping delicately.<br/><br/>For all his doubts Dan was happy that his Mom was happy and for the moment he would enjoy that feeling.<br/>"Thanks Mom" he said giving her a slightly devilish look, "I get the feeling I'll be even freer before the night's out, I've angsted over girlfriends too long."<br/>He silently thanked his ex for existing, explaining his real dilemma to his mother would likely have led to some truly bizarre instances.
