Anne Marie Mularkey. The gorgeous Anne Marie… Jaysus, now you’re taking me back. Swanned into French one day like she was God’s gift.

She had a face like a shovel, of course, but that only added to her allure. Girl blew that fringe out from her eyes and swung back in the chair. And, with that, I fell in love.

michael wrote a pull quote – “like a ferret trying to escape from a ball of sticky putty”– and I found the photo. Those were the two staple elements that had to be used in the piece by different writers over a year. just so you know, like.

But didn’t you find it in a lost property box or something…? Or am I totally off the mark there?
