Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 02, 2017

Bet it comes like clockwork… on the tick.

Just give Susan her newspaper back and move on to something else, Sid. Plenty of options available.

A cold front has moved in from the West with possible thunder and lightning over an extended period.

Wait aminute…I think there will be two mood shifts in the room. First the one, then the other.

Sidney should just haul off and kiss her. Kiss her like there’s no tomorrow. Either way, there may not be.

The evil eyes have it.

They both look pretty cranky.

Turn off the fan, because its about to start flying.

He’s about to hear some news.

Unfortunately, the room has got nothing to do with it…

But there’s no danger, she just wants to talk… (Sidney, maintain eye contact and back away slowly…)

Now is the time Sidney…..off to the bathroom (with the paper) that should give her enough time to cool down.
