"Sooooooooo," Karen said in long drawn out fashion. "What did loverboy want? Does he have some hugs and kisses for his little Shellsy wellsy???"
Jon rolled her now pretty eyes.
"You are so retarded Karen. And for your information, all he said was that he was coming here to pick me up in about 10 minutes. Apparently we have some "thing" to go to. He seemed pretty into it really. It's too bad I'll have to disappoint him."
"Hold on a sec there. You mean he's coming here?" Karen asked with surprise.
"Looks like," Jon replied. "But as I was saying, he's just gonna be wasting his time. I fully intend to be back to my numero uno, big bad studly self by the time he gets here."
Jon picked up the stone, turning it over and over in her now elegant and refined hand. "Now, how do I word the wish so there will be no mistakes?"

"Holy shit!" Karen exclaimed. "I told you it would be someone rich and famous!"
"Pipe down already, let's just see who it is and get it over with ok?" Jon shot back.
The driver reached out, and took hold of the door handle...
He opened the door...
And Jon's boyfriend stepped out onto the street.
Karen and Jon both stared from behind the window with mouths agape.
They couldn't believe who they were seeing. This was incredible. The mystery man, Jon's boyfriend, was none other than...
