  The side table alarm clock chimed. Naomi turned over and shut it off. She got up and looked out the window. Steve was there and pacing. "Steve!" She yelled out the window. He looked up. "Naomi!" She waved. "Thank you SO much, Steve. Good luck!" Naomi closed the window. He smiled and knocked on the door. Drew opened it. "Steve! Hey, bro. Come in" Steve nodded and walked inside the house. They walked into the living room and sat down, Drew with his fresh beer from the fridge. "Drew" Steve said seriously. "We need to talk"
"Sure, Steve. About what?"
"Naomi" Drew groaned. "Drew! I'm serious!" He set his beer down. "Oh, the almighty perfect goddess? I see no reason why" Steve took a deep breath and stared at his brother. "Grow up! This is serious!"
"Oh, she's better at everything else than me, has a better job, is stronger, and now falls in love before I do?! It's just not fair! I need this, Steve!" H shook his head. "Let's get somethings straight. Ok?" Drew nodded, reluctantly.

"Ok. Why is she stronger than me?"
"All Carey women are, you know that" Drew scowled. "Better job?" Sighing, Steve leaned forward. "Have you ever *tried* to apply for another job outside Winfred Louder?" Drew shook his head no. "Naomi applied several, if not a hundred times, for a job" He scowled again. "How come  she gets to fall in love and I don't?" By then, he was almost in tears. "Fate. Amore. It'll come, Drew. Now, will you let her see Lewis?" Drew sat still. Steve stood up and hovered over him. "Will you?" He solomnly gave his reply.
