With one of the more obvious solutions to a relationship meltdown being Charming Calvin's transfer back here, he has been busy for the past few weeks searching for job openings. And since I already vetoed the idea of him being the sole househusband, he has laboured through the weekends perusing the classifieds. His initial plans to have a change of career has actually helped in this regard since it has significantly widened his options.
Unfortunately still no jobs available in this market.
Of course, such zealous, single-minded persistence on his part has garnered the attention of his ever-observant mother, Madame Borgia. With Calvin making plans to return and flying back on a regular basis.... it has placed Madame Borgia on instant high alert. Didn't the boy once claim that he would never return to the countryside? There had to be mischief afoot.
Q & A time at the Borgias!
Didn't take long for her to make a move.
Madame Borgia : I am surprised you are so eager to return here. Weren't you quite desperate to leave for the city?
Calvin : Things have changed.
Madame Borgia : After all my endless entreaties before? I confess I am curious, exactly what has changed?
Calvin : Things have.
Madame : Why, is it because Paul is here now?
Calvin : Umm. Uh.
Imagined Calvin looking like a deer in headlights with his mother interrogating.
I have to admit I am surprised Madame Borgia actually took so long to ask that question. Like a knot in her belly, no doubt that nagging mystery has percolated in her wily mind for weeks. Seems she has even taken to questioning the rest of her children to ascertain Calvin's true intentions.
Guess I underestimated Madame Borgia. Obviously she requires a disembarkation questionaire from Calvin before he comes home.
Though I'm sure Calvin tried his best to evade her incessant probings after, I have no doubt Madame Borgia caught his initial stumble. Superspy he certainly isn't. Wonder if she's going to come knocking on my door to find out more.

What a homecoming drama and fuss coming soon! Spike her camomile tea to calm her nerves!
"more tea, mother?"
I'm sure she already has her spies out, william.
Chamomile might be too foreign for her, sam and twilight :) Good old chinese tea will do for her.
Scary yes, carpe diem and vincent.
Time you sang that at karaoke, legolas.
Doubt she would even dare come ask though, jason.
Keeping an eye out, D.
Think she guesses, life. But still no confirmation on any side.
Already planning so, john.
