>curious.

>Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, she started to
>wonder if there was more between Brian and Stephanie than met the eye.

>Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be
>thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are just roommates."

>About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother
>came to dinner, I've been unab le to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle.
>You don't suppose she took it, do you ?"
>
>Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure.
>So he sat down and wrote:

>"Dear Mom: I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the
>house, I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact
>
>remains that one has been missing ever since you were
>here for dinner. Love, Brian"
