Carl was truly accept to hear, that no women deserved that, especially one as gorgeous as Emma. He listened to her carefully and didn't interupt and saw the sadness etched on her face. But what she said interested Carl, "Well I could be there..." He started looking rather hopeful "If I am invited..." He carried on looking at her as small smile appeared on his face, "Why dont you ask your husband if I could come? I am sure he wouldn't mind, hey might even make him a little jealous and make him realise what he is so lucky to have and what he is missing out on." He suggested winking at Emma, wondering if he was pushing the boat out or had he successfully convinced her to try.
