She said: You've got my attention

He said: I like it
She said: You do?
He said: I want to publish
She said: You do?
He said: Shall we?
She said: Damn right
He said: Polish
She said: Okay

A bit later....

She said: Ummm, no
He said: This one?
She said: Errr no
He said: Now?
She said: Brill

He said: Ready?
She said: Here
He said: Debi!!
She said: Oh gawd
He said: work through the night, don't stop until your fingers bleed (no he didn't but I have to blame someone for wanting to kill the cat at this point)
She said: Slavedriver
He said: Diva
She said: Ouch
He said: Read
She said: I am
He said: Read
She said: Reading...

Bloody hell! 14! One a month, so a year Christmas you can have a life!
