Oh dear. What a moment that says so much. You write the scene beautifully, Gabrielle! Well done.

Thank you, Lani. If I ever harbored personal dreams of Hollywood fame, they were were shattered about five minutes after I arrived in Hollywood. Obscurity will do fine for me, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the piece anyway.

Good thing no snoopy meddling adult caught him riding his bike unescorted by parents... why they might have called the police and Child Protective Services for the San Fernando Valley who could paid a visit and had a threatening word or two with Mr & Mrs Tyke about how letting their sweet child ride around on his own was tantamount to child abuse

Oh, there was plenty of abuse going on, Francis, just not the sort the Child Protection Services would be able to catch....
