"Yes, because I'm going through a break up and you always used to let me paint your nails when I was sad."

"As I mentioned yesterday, we will be holding a debate next week. Your subject Did Charles I receive a fair trial' The pros will represent the parliament who deemed they had sovereignty and the cons will represent the monarch and try and prove that the charge against him was not legal. What is fascinating Mr. Dugray?"

Tristan snapped out of his daydreaming. "Uh, nothing Ms. Caldecott."

"Nothing, Mr. Dugray?"

"My notes - my notes are fascinating Ms. Caldecott."

"Yes they are fascinating Mr. Dugray. As I was saying, the pro and con teams will each have two minutes and 30 seconds for introductions, six minutes to debate, three minutes for conclusions and five minutes for questions from the audience. The winner shall be decided by a hand count from the rest of the class. Does that sound like fun Mr. Dugray?" She asked when he was caught again looking at London.

"What?"

"The debate. Does it sound like fun?"

"Yes, it does."

"It does, doesn't it Mr. Dugray?"

"Oh, it absolutely does Ms. Caldecott."

"More fun than staring at Miss Hayden's ear?" London turned and made eye contact with his ex boyfriend.

"Yes, Ms. Caldecott."
