Or maybe a couple of hundred years.
How long do superpeople live, anyway?"
Pretending vast shock, Mandi rolled her eyes and softly exclaimed, "Oh,
wonder of wonders!"
Giving her a narrow look of his own, Cade asked, "What wonder of wonders are
you referring to, ma'am?"
Not bothering to contain her grin, Mandi said, "You finally asked me a real
question. Did it hurt?"
"Well, it didn't at the time, but I think it's beginning to. Wanna know
where?"
Laughing, Mandi said, "Ah... no, I can guess. I can't tell you how long I'm
likely to live, Ed. I really don't know."
Nodding, Cade said, "Doesn't matter. I was just curious." Lifting her hand
upward to kiss it, he added, "And I hope it's a really big number."
Chapter Eleven
Near the end of the next block was a pub and microbrewery that had a couple
of pool tables. Mandi and Cade discovered the place to be almost empty, despite
large numbers of convention attendees wandering the streets.
Two guys at a table near the window nodded to Mandi and Cade as they entered
and approached the bar. Cade ordered a couple of beers and some quarters.
